A kind man in Aberfeldy who repairs bikes as a hobby is helping to give Ukrainians new to the town some two-wheeled independence.
Peter Donaldson (61) is retired from a career working in renewables for SSE.When he became aware of the cluster of host families taking in Ukrainian refugees in the town, he put out an appeal to get them bikes.In just over two weeks he’s had over 30 donated bicycles left for him to fix and give to the new arrivals.
He said: “I’ve had over 30 bikes donated in the past two weeks, ranging from almost brand new to ones just usable for spares.
