Bristol city council gives free bikes to those who really need them?

Question

someone told me that the bristol city council would give anyone who needs a bike for school or work, true?

im a student who lives in bristol and my school is in south gloc, we are on benifits and the council refused to give me a bus pass because my school is outside the city borders..

Answer 1

I have no idea! Sounds like a brilliant idea. Could you not car share? I live in Glos, and catch a car share to S Bristol 3 days a week. My driver charges me about half the price of a bus ticket, well worth doing if you can find someone willing and able!

Answer 2

They have squad of bike recyclers who remove the vandalised and abandoned bikes from across the city and put the good bits together to make working models.

Anyone qualifys, you just have to catch them when they have one.
