It’s a sign!
Guido (in the stripy red top) filling us in on what Revolve ReCYCLING does and what’s expected of volunteer mechanics.
Gorgeous Frank Paino, ready to be sold.
It’s all in the details.
A tour of the showroom where bikes that were once destined for landfill have been given new life and are now ready to find a new home.
Europa cycles represent!
We then got a tour of the yard. O. M. G…
Bicycle heaven, or hell?! I was emotional.
We then got to the recycling area. Bikes and parts that are considered unsafe to be used get sorted by materials and sent for recycling.
In a skip for recycling.
The guys got straight to work.
Eugene serviced the brakes and gears on this bike. The idea is to put enough love into the bikes to get them to a state where you’d consider them safe for your own children to ride.
Endless buckets of parts!
My BFAM Eugene loves working on bicycles as much as I do so I thought I’d plant a seed and suggest that he check out Revolve ReCYCLING in Alexandria and ask them for a job. Revolve ReCYCLING recovers, recycles and redeploys unwanted bikes. SO unreal, right?!
It turns out Revolve have a night once a week where bike mechanics can volunteer to work on children’s bikes which will be donated to kids in need Australia-wide. Talk about stocking up on good karma. Eugene and I rocked up at 5pm to be given a tour of the facilities by Revolve ReCYCLING founder Guido, then it was straight to work!
