NEWS AND EVENTS

“Donate your Bicycle” Drive: Saturday September 29th 9am-12noon


We’ll take any bicycle, in any condition. We’ll refurbish the bicycle, use it for parts or scrap it. Some of the bicycles will be available for our “Sweat Equity” program – individuals can receive credit by volunteering at CT and in return use that credit to purchase a refurbished bicycle from our stock.

Funds generated from the sale of these bicycles or their parts will go towards the operating costs of Cycle Transitions, a non-profit, volunteer-run organization working to increase safe cycling in Northumberland County.  (www.cycletransitions.org)

If you have bicycles or parts to donate, but don’t have the means to transport them, give us a call (905.377.1278) or send an email (info@cycletransitions.org); we’ll arrange for them to be picked up.

When: Saturday, September 29, 2012
Hours: 9a.m. to 12 noon
Where: Cycle Transitions: 739 D’Arcy St., Cobourg (behind the old NuComm building)
