Interlinkx cic: February 2011

2017 is Interlinkx CiC & CC Hackney's tenth year.

Due to Covid 19 virus all club face to face activities are suspended until further notice. Please check CC Hackney's website for news updates and how to stay in touch during this period.

The news in 2020 is that Interlinkx has been converted from a community interest company into a charitable incorporated organisation under the terms of the Charitable Incorporated Organisations (Conversion) Regulations. In the process of conversion, the organisation has changed its name to Cycling Club Hackney CIO. Meanwhile, the community amateur sports club called Cycling Club Hackney has been wound up and has gifted its assets to CC Hackney CiO

Interlinx CiC, was responsible for CC Hackney'sHQ/house and home as well as leading on fund raising

& community outreach. In 2017 was the ten year anniversary since founding in 2007. Our partner organisation

(CC Hackney) came into being later in the same year.

Stephen 'Ace' Doyle - Nightingale project

Stephen Doyle standing by his bike, supplied again courtesy of Interlinkx CiC and Stoke Newington Police station. This was done under the agreement that young Stephen would take responsibility for his new bike and keep it long term by using the lock supplied with it in return for him being a good volunteer and supporter of the Nightingale bike project. Stephen attends with regularity and is always helpful and respectful to the club, it's members and staff. He has managed to keep the bike in his possession for a record length of time and aims to keep this up because he has become...'too attached to my street machine'

Don't rush!

The evidence above shows that youth bike maintenance clubs are not just about learning to turn spanners and pump pumps. Jez Peter from Nightingale's bike club bears witness to this, the positive change in him of late is distinct and clear.

Alfie and Jez stand by the bike they have got together that was donated to the project by Stoke Newington Police Station. Alfie is a good young bike mechanic who helped his friend Jez get this bike in a fit and road worthy condition.
