Biosphere bikes project came about through a love of cycling and a desire to encourage people into a healthier lifestyle using cycling as a means to do that. The project is a Not-For-Profit social enterprise based in Girvan at the very start of an exciting journey. The vision is to create a community bike hub giving access to bikes and bike hire for everyone. We want to make cycling accessible to more people, regardless of their age, ability or accessibility issues. We aim to do this through a range of bikes including electric bikes, manual bikes and bikes for the not so able bodied. We also want to recycle unused bikes to keep as much as possible out of landfill sites. We want people who don’t have access to a bike or think cycling is not for them due to accessibility issues to realise there is a bike for everyone.
The project name – Biosphere Bikes- came about because we live and work in a UNESCO recognised special area called a biosphere and wanted the name of the project to reflect this. At Biosphere Bikes we are a proud supporter of the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire Biosphere and as a social enterprise business our principles very much align with those of the Biosphere. We want to create a bike hub in Girvan that brings health and social benefits to local people but will also reap rewards for local businesses through tourism.
Looking after our natural environment is so important and Biosphere Bikes want to encourage cycling as an eco friendly and sustainable travel option.
Visitors will be able to explore and appreciate the hidden places across South Carrick that are not accessible by car and enjoy our beautiful landscapes, local culture and wonderful heritage.
