Firm turns from cars to bikes for '˜library'
Synergy Automotive is working with the organisers of the Tour de Yorkshire to collect 50 bicycles over an eight-week period spanning from January 29 to March 23.
The campaign is urging the region’s businesses and local communities to drop off unused or outgrown children’s and adults bikes at Synergy’s Hornbeam Park offices.

Sir Gary Verity, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, said: “Securing an additional 50 bicycles moves us closer to our vision for every child in Yorkshire to have access to a bike and we’re delighted to partner with Synergy Automotive to further this goal.
Synergy will act as a donation station from 8.30am-5.45pm at its Hornbeam Park Oval office in Harrogate until March 23.
