Where are we and getting there?
MerseyCycle is the home of bicycle recycling in Liverpool Merseyside. We are based in Knowsley but are right on the Liverpool border. Our postcode is L16 3NA.
There are various ways of getting to us.
We are based in Court Hey Park, the previous home of the Gladstone Family.
By car the park entrance is adjacent to the M62 between the Rocket and Knotty Ash Junction. Big brown information signs direct you to Court Hey Park. The entrance is on the A5080 Roby Road.
The nearest train stations are Broadgreen and Roby. Both are accessed on the City Line from Lime Street Railway Station.
The 61 bus goes along Roby Road but the 79 bus also goes along Childwall Valley Road at the rear of the park and then on foot the park can be accessed by the entrances by Pascal Baylon School.
Nation Cycle Network route 62 is very close to the park too. Locally this stretch is called the Ralla of the Loop Line. NCN62 goes from Southport to Hull. Leaving the route at Lanfranc Way and heading to Castletown Close you can then access Baldwin Avenue, Chelwood Avenue and then the park is easiest accessed from Thornton Road.
Opening Times?
We are a volunteer lead project but we try to be at the workshop every Thursday from 10 until 1 and then 2 until 4 and Saturday 10-1. Other times can be arranged by appointment. It is always best to text ahead of time to check that we are in just in case something has cropped up including holidays. If there is a change to these openings we post it here and on our facebook page.
Please note that on :-
Saturday 15th February we will be open 9.30-12.30
Thursday 27th February, we will be closed.
Donations of parts and bikes.
We always welcome donations but would ask you to contact us in advance to discuss the bicycles or parts that you have to donate. Sometimes not all bikes can be recycled. After a call with you we shall let you know. Sometimes we are so full that we have no more room for anymore.
From 1st April 2024 we now undertake servicing and repairs. Our experienced qualified mechanics are happy to help. Visit us for a chat and bring your bike for us to see what we can do to help.
