FAQ

Why?
Students need bikes and have little income.
(Hundred of) thousands of bikes are discarded every year – let’s recycle them.
It’s fun.

How?
Bring your bike and we will take a look at it. We have spare parts, but not all, so we can fix most things, but not all.

I don’t have a bike.
We can probably give you one. We have some bikes – donated or recovered from recyc areas. However, it might not be ready to ride. If it needs repair, we will help you, but be ready to spend some hours in the workshop fixing it.

I don’t know how to fix bikes.
It’s not hard and we will help you. Start here.

How can I know it’s not stolen?
You would think it’s better to buy one, right? But buying from a private person, is not a guarantee. Even the bike shops are not always secure – recent findings showed that a significant number of second-hand bikes being sold were actually stolen.
We check all bikes that go through the workshop against the police register. That’s also not a guarantee, but it is the best we (and anyone..) can do.
