Services Offered

Recycle-a-Bicycle

Inspired by non-profits and community organizations of the same name, our Recycle-a-Bicycle programs are after-school initiatives for at-risk youth within the city of Buffalo. Students learn about bicycle repair and maintenance, as well as safety, health and the environment, while building their own bicycles from refurbished parts. Recycle-A-Bicycle gives youth the chance to learn basic mechanic and problem solving skills, learn how their actions can impact their health and the health of their communities and have a positive impact on their environment through reducing the amount of used bicycles entering the waste stream, curtailing car emissions and circulating hundreds of bicycles back into the community.
