Brent Council's Revive and Ride scheme is an initiative that recovers abandoned bicycles from the borough – left at the Waste and Reuse Centre in Abbey Road—refurbishes them, and donates them for free to local community and faith groups to promote active travel.

The council partnered with Peddle My Wheels to execute the project, successfully launching with an initial donation of 40 refurbished bikes to local organisations.
The program aligns closely with the Brent Active Travel Implementation Plan, which seeks to eliminate road transport emissions and boost cycling across the borough.
