Re:Cycle

Re:Cycle, also known as Chalmers Bike day, is a yearly event where participants get the chance to rescue a bike. The purpose of this event is to encourage repairing old bikes and get people to use bicycles.

We do Re:Cycle twice a year, one around late April and one around early October. Most of our bikes come from housing companies that would throw them away if we don’t rescue them.

We often collect around 100-300 bikes for each event. We make a big party of the event, inviting different organizations and companies working with bikes and sustainability. We also collaborate with a local bike kitchen that helps you set up the bike. We give away the bikes for free to everyone who’s a member of our society and the bike kitchen.

Basically, you go to our booth during the event, register for membership/check your membership, take a number token, wait until it’s your turn to go into the bike area and select a bike. Then go and get help from the bike kitchen to fix anything. The bikes that get left after the event we donate to refugees and the bike kitchen.
