Introducing https://t.co/wpfenrTOTv, The network for bike recycling!
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of https://t.co/wpfenrTOTv. A network of partners dedicated to the cause of bike recycling. Saving thousands of bikes from scrap and refurbishing them to be enjoyed again.
Over the past year, we have worked with @Nestrans and two local charities; @StellasVoiceUK and The Bikery at Gordon Rural Action Huntly to turn this network into a reality. The two charities are the first of what we hope will be a growing network of partners.
