Now I don't want to give a bad impression in my first blog but what is a blog, without a good old moan and what better to shout about than how I was left feeling late last night when Muhammed told me that his shiny new bike had been taken from outside the Refugee Council. I couldn't believe my eyes as I stood outside the door of our office staring at a wheel and lock. I immediately thought of it's material value however, I quickly forgot this when I realised how much Muhammed now relied on his bike and how much he would miss it, he had even stopped buying a weekly travel pass! Now this episode although upset me, did not surprise me, we are after all in London, a city where if you get your bike nicked Saturday night you can guarantee it will turn up on Brick Lane early Sunday morning. I now ask myself; how many times had this bike been stolen before ending up in our hands. Indeed the wheel does turn!!

Did the bike turn up? Just wondering really

I'm a Refugee Council supporter and a keen cyclist so was pleased to read about this project in the last newsletter. Any chance of an update?

Hi Gill,

We've archived this blog for now sadly as the project has come to an end. Perhaps we'll have an update on how people are getting on with their bikes later in the new year!
