Asylum Link Bike Club

The Bike Club at Asylum Link Merseyside is an affiliated Community Cycle Club.

We offer weekly rides to asylum seekers, refugees and local community members. These take place every Tuesday afternoon from 1230-3pm, leaving from our base: Asylum Link Merseyside, 7 Overbury Street, Liverpool, L7 3HJ.

These cycling activities have been hugely beneficial to participants' mental and physical health. During multiple lockdowns when people have been isolated, many asylum seekers and refugees have also been placed in unfamiliar accommodation without friends or family members. The Bike Club gives participants an opportunity to get to know local areas, explore the surroundings, meet people and build confidence on a bike. 

We have approximately 14 bikes in stock meaning we can lend them out to participants for each ride. We also provide all the necessary safety equipment and briefings. The rides are led be Cycling UK-trained cycle leaders.

Our rides are a lot of fun and they have created lasting friendships between people from across the world and people from the local area. 

Everyone welcome! So please come along on a Tuesday at 12.30pm or message [email protected] for more information.
