The not-for-profit social enterprise charity received £70,000 funding from the council.
Biosphere Bikes has been able to add to its seasonal seafront hire hub by opening a shop and community hub in Henrietta Street in Girvan , thanks to part funding from South Ayrshire Council .
The new shop and community hub means the charity can not only continue to hire bikes, but they can sell refurbished bicycles, equipment and even run workshops. Biosphere Bikes was first granted Certified Business status from the Southern Ayrshire UNESCO Biosphere in 2020, underlining their commitment to sustainability.
"This achievement is a testament to the unwavering support of those who believe in our project including South Ayrshire Council’s Community Wealth Building Team, Kilgallioch Windfarm through Foundation Scotland, ARPL Architects and Lockharts Law. Councillor Bob Pollock, Economic Development Portfolio Holder for South Ayrshire Council, said: “The charity is already well established but having a permanent base which can be open all year round, will make a big difference. Biosphere Bikes always go that extra mile to ensure everyone has access to bikes no matter their age, ability, or background; they are an inspiration."
