Saving Unwanted Bikes

@CycleRescue is the specialised Unwanted Bicycle Recovery Restoration and reuse Project originated in Sydney,Australia. Our aim is to extend the useful life of unwanted bicycles while lowering the negative environmental impact of conventional modes of transportation and directly empowering socially marginalised people towards self driven sustainability.


 Cycle Rescue now accept all unwanted reusable adult sized bicycles and plan to extend our service to include childrens sizes in the near future.


 Here are some ways you can help CycleRescue to help marginalised communities help themselves while slowing climatechange,reducing pollution while promoting healthy lifestyles and zero-emissions transportation.
