===Charity Bike Build from O3e===
O3e provides leading Charity Inspired Team challenges, Charity Bike Build is the most popular. A facilitated opportunity to bring teams together to deliver an extraordinary outcome. O3e has created a unique bike building programme, engaging, educational, technical and rewarding. Teams need to build bikes similar to the ones every body rides, this makes it more challenging and more rewarding for the participants who will learn a lot about their own bikes as well as building bikes that will give an opportunity to a young person to enhance their lives. Charity Bike Build bikes have enabled Young Carers to gain independence, Care Leavers to attain employment, Youth Clubs offer Bikeability programmes and Ex Offenders transport opportunities. Over £500,000 of bikes have been built and donated to the community. A Charity Bike Build event lasts typically 2.5 hours and teams vary between 5 - 8 people. Space requirements are 9 sqm per team plus 20 sqm for the Charity Bike Shop and Race Bike simulator. Minimum numbers 8 people, max 1000 plus. Each team is provided with a Charity Bike Building workshop with a Professional Bike Stand and Workshop tools. Charity Bike Build is available in the UK and Europe.

===The Charity Bike Build – Together We Care===
In this terrific bicycle building for charity event, teams armed with wrenches and enthusiasm as they race to construct the ultimate human-powered, no-gasoline-needed rocket: children’s bicycles. From the creative folks at TeamBonding – our facilitators have helped hundreds of companies just like yours build bikes for kids for charity (more than 12,000 bicycles and counting) around the world. One of your fondest childhood memories is probably the day you received your very first bicycle for your birthday or Christmas, wrapped with a big bow around the handlebars. You probably spent all summer outside, cycling around with your friends, or going on rides through the woods with your family. But for the many impoverished families throughout America, it can be tough to afford the cost of food and rent, let alone luxuries like toys and bikes. Although bicycling can help children build coordination and self-esteem, and provides a wonderful source of exercise, many kids are forced to go without this cherished childhood pastime. For most of the children involved, typically ages 7-9, this will be their first bicycle! We partner with charities such as Boys and Girls Clubs and Bikes for Tykes. We’re also happy to partner with a local charity of your choice.
