Re~Cycle: Bikes to Africa, Pedal party Free

In just 10 weeks, Isle of Wight residents have donated over 150 bikes to the charity Re~Cycle: Bikes to Africa.

“To maximise the number of bikes we can fit in the 7.5 tonne truck that Bartletts loan us for free, we need to do things like remove the pedals and turn the handlebars. We are having two ‘Pedal parties’ to which we would love people to come and help. They are on Saturday 10th October from 9.30-11.30am and Monday 12th October from 2-4pm.

It’s the old adage ‘Many hands make light work’ as 150 bikes take a while to prepare.

Bring a 15mm spanner, allen keys and plenty of muscle!
