Police Scotland Day 150 - bicycle initiatives

Unclaimed bicycles due to be sold at auction are instead being gifted to charity under a trial scheme being undertaken by Police Scotland Edinburgh Division.

Bicycles and bike parts, which would otherwise have been sold at police auction, are being donated to Edinburgh-based charity the Bike Station.

The charity, which aims to promote cycling to everyone, offers cheap second-hand bikes for sale, and carries out cycle repairs at a reduced rate, using second-hand parts.
