The Great Bike Recycle

mission

To support vulnerable individuals in our community in maintaining their independence, enhancing their social well being, and optimizing their overall health and wellness through the provision and encouragement of cycling.

PROJECT

The Great Bike Recycle provides an easy and credible way for people to donate their used bikes and bike parts, to be refurbished and distributed to marginalized individuals and communities.

It is a bikes repair and donation initiative which serves both local and international bike projects with a focus on keeping the the organization's environmental footprint small. The Great Bike Recycle aims to empower disadvantaged community members, integrate newcomers, build skills, increase access to community services and most importantly, contribute to an overall healthier community.

Focus for the 2024 bike distribution is newly settled newcomers and refugees in the greater Toronto area as well as indigenous populations in the . Please note we will also be sending bikes to Nicaragua as well as three areas in Cameroon in early 2016. The Great Bike Recycle is a multi-faceted projects with storage/repair stations at two locations (Bloor St./St. George and Bay St./Bloor St.) staffed by mechanics and volunteers.
