Exeter Community Bikes needs your old bikes!
Exeter Community Bikes (ECB) is a Project that is just starting in Exeter. It aims to provide unemployed people with the skills, confidence and knowledge to recycle and recondition unwanted and abandoned bicycles and in the process reduce landfill, encourage more environmental awareness and enhance our community’s health and well-being. Cycling reaches out to people of all ages, gender, and social class and can act as a vehicle for engagement with diverse and hard to reach groups.
Have you been meaning to get rid of an old bike cluttering up your garage, garden or home but didn’t want to send it to the dump, then this is the perfect scheme to help bring it back to life. We are currently looking for donations of:
• Unwanted & Abandoned ADULTS Bicycles
• Bicycle Parts (Chains, Wheels, etc.)
• Bicycle Tools
• Bicycle Workshop equipment
• And of course, any financial help you might be able to give.
If you have any donations of the above items please bring them along or contact Jola Pawlikowski (ECB Co-ordinator) on 01392 205800 Ext.104 or jola@eci.org.uk.
The Exeter Community Bike Workshop is open Wednesdays - Friday 1pm-5pm. Its workshop has just opened on the lower Levels of the Harlequins Shopping Centre, Paul Street, Exeter. EX4 3TT.
