Upcyclers Program - Donate Bikes
Upcyclers are a core activity contributing to the circular economy through the recycling and reuse of existing materials.
The Bike Hub Upcyclers program focuses on restoring previously loved bikes with the aim of donating them to people on low income, refugees and other vulnerable groups. Recipients of these bikes also receive bells, locks, helmets and, if required, some training in cycling and maintenance.
The bikes are obtained through donations and from recycling centres.
Spare parts can be new as well as reconditioned.
Labour can be provided through a combination of paid staff, volunteers, trainees (in training programmes or doing on-the-job-training) and the recipients of the bikes themselves.
