Connecticut College bicycle recycling programme

Saturday, 3. March 2007, 01:27:09

From CC: 'Formerly abandoned and broken bicycles have found a welcoming new home in the basement of 360 House at "Spokespeople," the [Connecticut] CollegeÂ´s recently opened new bicycle collective and repair shop. Some bicycles only need a little bit of TLC, while others need major repairs, but senior Joanna McClintick is determined to get them all back on the road again. "Bicycling is a sustainable alternative in the face of the global warming crisis, yet not many people know how to repair bikes, or own bikes, and they donÂ´t get the same attention as cars, which are not sustainable," McClintick said.'

From The Free Press, Mankato, MN: 'Ralph Hall and Beau Layman likely would argue that even on the rustiest bike there remains a bit of chrome worth polishing. The two bike enthusiasts run the Rebike Project that operates out of an old garage at the corner of D Street and Poplar Street. Previously the Bikes for All Program that once was part of the Thrift Store, Rebike takes donated broken and/or used bicycles and repairs them, eventually making them available at little or no cost.'
