Recycle Your Cycle!



We are going to be starting a bike club in the next month and we are in need of more bicycles! Now's your chance to do something good with that 80's dust-collector in the garage or that soon-to-be-obsolete college cruiser.

Many of the Las Americas and Olympia residents have expressed an interest in joining the bike club, but do not own (or have the means to own) bicycles of their own. Additionally, most of the bikes that residents do own are in need of some new parts, maintenance, and T.L.C.

That said, if your "ride" is slightly less than functional, you may still be able to donate. With the gracious help of L.A. bike non-profits The Bicycle Kitchen and The Bike Oven, residents will be able to learn how to repair their battered bicycles at no cost to them. We are hoping to actually host an onsite repair clinic at the Las Americas in the upcoming month! Stay tuned, we will be posting again soon!

P.S. Thanks in advance, if you are planning to donate a bike, especially from the UCI campus! Best wishes!
