It is terrific to see that some councils are supporting bicycle recycling schemes. Those schemes provide a range of community benefits including

• Providing access to low cost transport for people who do not have access to bicycles
• Providing practical training for participants who restore bicycles
  
• Reducing the number of bikes going to land fills.
