17-Mar: Jack Swain, CEO Recyke y’bike, bike refurbishing
Jack Swain, CEO of Recyke y’bike, a charity based in North East England, gives us insights into their work refurbishing donated bikes for resale to fund their outreach programme, workshops for bike repairs and training courses.
Links from the session and chat:
- And something similar at Northside Bikes in Leicester and XO Bikes in Lewisham
- Cyclone Works turns out numerous BMX smoothie makers and spin painting bikes for sale or hire, and haven't found the market saturated (pun intended).
- On funding, the government's Pride in Place programme is funding the most deprived neighbourhoods which might fund workspaces, empty shops?
