COMMUNITIES WORKING WITH BIKE MI VANCOUVER
BIKES FOR YOUTHS
At Bike Mi Vancouver, we take donated bikes from the community, repair them, and give them to youths. There are no strings attached, each bike is checked over to ensure its safety, as well as being fully functional for the recipient. How these bikes get to the youths is through the administration at various elementary schools throughout the city; where they will connect with the school’s liaison youth workers to ensure a suitable recipient is found. At Bike Mi Vancouver, we supply all the parts and labor, free of charge. Working with the community we have donated over 10,000 dollars worth of bike repairs and hope to keep that number growing day by day!
Our Work Does Not Stop There.
Bike Mi Vancouver also works to offer free services for refugees and low-income Individuals once a month in East Van. Dates are published on social media.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
At Bike Mi Vancouver, we ensure protection of the environment by disposing of chemicals and used parts appropriately. We only use approved biodegradable solvents, cleaners for use on the bikes, all scrap metal and plastics are recycled at a local recycling depot for appropriate recycling.
