Jun 2 2010 by Jane Tyler, Birmingham Mail

A BIRMINGHAM bike shop which gives all its profits to charity is holding a “get back into cycling” day on June 24.

As part of Team Green Bike Week from June 19 to 27 iCycle in Harborne will be encouraging residents to swap four wheels for two.

As one of the social enterprises run by Queen Alexandra College, iCycle is a not-for-profit venture.

Any proceeds it makes from selling and servicing bikes goes back into the college which improves the lives of the blind and visually impaired.

On June 24 customers can find out more about good cycle routes, which bike is right for them and also test-ride some models.
