Herning, DK Green Bicycles program turns abandoned bike nuisance into learning opportunities

Herning, DK Green Bicycles Abandoned Bike Learning

Complete

Local officials estimate that up to 200 bikes are found abandoned each year. Green Bicycles - Grønne Cykler - takes this task off the hands of local police by repurposing collected bikes. Students at Ungdomscenter Knudmosen repair and refurbish bikes in the youth center's new workshop. Herning distributes the restored bikes to local nonprofits for free use by their clients. The project creates training opportunities for local youth and free transit options for residents in need.

Grønne cykler

Grønne cykler er et projekt i Herning Kommune, der sørger for, at efterladte, ejerløse cykler i kommunen ikke står og bliver til rustbunker. I stedet får de et nyt liv, hvor de gør glæde og gavn - og ressourcerne genbruges.

Et nyt projekt i Herning Kommune sikrer, at efterladte cykler får nyt liv og igen kommer til at gøre gavn. Det er en win-win-situation, lyder det fra lokalpolitiet.
