Essex Pedal Power, Tendring
Essex Pedal Power is a community-based cycling project across the whole of Tendering that provides free high-quality bikes to residents, along with a helmet, lock, pump, and lights. Every eligible applicant has free access to training through learn to ride, cycle confidence, and bike maintenance sessions and the opportunity to take part in social bike rides. The EPP team work closely with local partners to support people experiencing significant barriers to cycling, by providing them with a bike and other services.
The project will initially loan a brand-new bike free of charge to eligible residents in Tendring for a period of 6 months. If the bike has been used regularly during this time and the applicant wishes to keep it, bike ownership will be transferred at the end of the loan at no cost.
