So glad we can help!

To our community,
Simply put, we NEED your help.
We are now facing an unpredictable and potentially very grave future.
... Now we need to turn to you, with a crowdfunding campaign to try to keep us going.
All funds raised will go to protecting our future.
We have lots of rewards available, which you can redeem once we are through the other side of this.
Please give as generously as possible for you. If you also hit 'SHARE', you'll directly help us spread our message.
We can't thank you enough.
Love, Team Bike for Good.

Don't leave yourself stranded.
Times are tough, but we are looking on the bright side. ☀️
Some of us will still need to get around - NHS workers, people visiting family, food shoppers...
... When you don't want to use public transport, or that option is taken from us - what will you do?
Please consider a BICYCLE!
- Free to ride - Travel without being stuck in close proximity to others - FUN!
Please head to our shops ASAP to pick up a refurbished bicycle. 🚲

🚲 A wee update 🚲
Friends of Bike for Good,
We'd like to reassure you that we are (mostly) running business as usual!
... If you are unsure whether your event / activity with us is going ahead, please call us on 0141 248 5409 or email us on hello@bikeforgood.org.uk. In every case possible, we will contact YOU first if anything changes.
Some things to note:
🔴 Come in to buy a bike! Our shops are both OPEN. There's no better way to avoid public transport and get around Glasgow than on yer bike. 🔴 Until the end of March, there will be NO FIX YOUR OWN BIKE including Youth FYOB - we are sorry about this. 🔴Our Family Fun Day on March 28th has been postponed until further notice.
❌ If you have been in an affected zone of the COVID 19 outbreak, we kindly ask that you don't visit either of our Hubs at this time. This is in line with NHS guidelines, so that we can all do our bit to contain the spread. ❌
Thank you for understanding, let's be kind and keep each other safe.

If you are worried about using public transport during the corona virus outbreak...
Remember there is always the bicycle!
Boost your physical health, and keep out of contact with others on buses and trains.
... "In 2018, a study by University of Birmingham and King’s College London found that 125 non-smoking amateur cyclists aged 55 to 79 still had the immune systems of young people."
