Working from his garden shed in Newport, a grandfather has single-handedly rebuilt more than 500 bikes and donated them to kids and essential workers. We meet Mike Jones and ask him what got him started and why he s turned his garden shed into a bike chairty.
Kids go free
Mike Jones’s garden in Newport looks like a second-hand bike shop. Hundreds of mountain bikes jostle for position alongside swings, peek out from behind shrubs and lean dangerously against the garden furniture. I spot an old Marin Mount Vision, a Raleigh Burner (replica, sadly), and Tim Gould’s old Peugeot from 1991 (yup, another replica).
