It was a full-on session at Full Cycle this week, bolstered by some fantastic neighbouring support - a few members of the GoodGym Merton team cycled across the borough to lend a hand with the packed to-do list.

In the workshop, it was all hands on deck as we dove into the usual recycling of inner tubes and tyres. This included sorting through wheel rims and tackling the somewhat difficult job of removing stubborn rubber from the metal.

Outside, the mission felt like a high-stakes game of bike Tetris. We had to move a sea of cycles and untangle them from encroaching brambles just to create a workspace. Once we had the room, the team made short work of cutting back the overgrowth, sweeping up leaves, and clearing rubbish before neatly returning every bike to storage.

Heavy lifting, tricky logistics, and plenty of camaraderie: just another un-tyre-ing group session!

Throughout the last week, 7 good- gymers from different areas collected and binned wayward items that had been strewn across our boroughs streets and parks.

Myself and Anna teemed up after another task to do this.

I even thought I had found my lift home, but alas, on closer inspection it had broken down and was waiting for the AA!
