At Lifecycle Brighton, we offer a unique blend of bicycle repair services, mentoring for young people, and neurodiversity-inclusive programs providing help for people who find it difficult to access cycling. Our focus on cycle coaching, bike building, and youth work aims to create a supportive community where everyone can learn to ride towards a brighter future. 

Our 5 Ways to Well-Being

Connecting… Working in small groups focusing on a task allows us to relax and talk openly, listening nonjudgementally and connecting with young people

Being active… Working around Bikes and working outside enables us to keep active. We engender a passion for cycling and for self-reliance enabling the young people to not only ride bikes, but keep them going independently so that they can rely on them as tools to help them stay active.

Taking notice… We encourage problem-solving and focus through being in the moment  young people to feel and experience not only mindful riding, but also activities like wheel building and bike mechanics requires being present which helps us focus and manage how we feel

Keeping learning… The problem-solving aspects of bike mechanics allows young people who are struggling to engage with education to become passionate about learning again. Not only in obvious way: using maths, physics, reading instructions, Learning about different materials etc, but also learning about our environment, the seasons, the weather, becoming independent learners.

Giving… Fixing bikes for other people, teaching vulnerable people to ride bikes, giving bikes and time to groups of vulnerable people enables young people to feel linked and feel useful within the community.
