Last night, we celebrated another successful season of our Youth Build-a-Bicycle Workshop Series! Happy to announce that this year’s program saw 67 youth successfully repaired bikes at no cost. Big thanks to our volunteers and to @cifsask for generously supporting this program!
A little (or more than a little) rain did not stop our volunteers from bringing back over 30 bikes from the @cityofsaskatoon landfill to be reused and redistributed back to the #yxe community! #bikediversionproject

Today, our volunteers put together a Herculean effort and brought back 127 bikes from the @cityofsaskatoon landfill! These bikes are part of the #bikediversion project, where diverted bikes are reused in the community through our programming.
If you or someone you know is looking for a bike, check out our website on how you can repair a bike to own at low to no cost! bridgecitybicyclecoop.com/

We saw 57 new bikes today at the @cityofsaskatoon Landfill. Spring cleaning is definitely upon us in #yxe. Look for these bikes to make their way back to be reused at @the_bcbc very soon! #bikediversionproject
Our first youth build-a-bicycle workshop of the year was such a fun time! Thanks to the students at Nutana Collegiate or coming, in spite of the spring snow storm!

Happy new year! Our bike diversion shifts are back and it never ceases to amaze us how clever some folks are to keep their bikes going before taking it to the @cityofsaskatoon Waste Management Centre!
What a difference a week makes! After seeing a big pile of new bikes at the @cityofsaskatoon Landfill last week, our volunteers brought back 71 bikes and cleaned up our work area! Big thanks to them for this Herculean effort! #bikediversionproject

On Thursday nights, I get to volunteer alongside awesome volunteers and teach youth how to repair bikes to own for free at @the_BCBC. It’s a good life! 📷 @mmmundana

It’s officially spring in #yxe when you see over 40 bikes at the @cityofsaskatoon landfill! For those that aren’t familiar, since 2016, we have partnered with the City on the #bikediversionproject, which recovers discarded bikes from the Landfill to be reused via BCBC programming
