Hi everyone,
Cyclo North-South is a community organization in Montréal, Quebec (Canada) that collects used bicycles in order to give access to a way of transportation for people with low income and/or marginalized, through local and international projects. In each projects, we try to reinforce bike mechanics skills of our partners and people receiving bicycles to make them more autonomous since the ressources (bike mechanics, incomes) are very limited especially in rural area. One of the issue of our partners in Africa and Latin America is that they don’t have easily access to pedagogic tools on bike mechanics.
We are currently working on gathering what already exists (local and international) regarding pedagogic tools on bike mechanics (printed or other types) in order to either share those tools to our partners either adapt them so they can be used by youths and general public that is in Togo, Ghana, Haiti, Ecuador, etc. The objective is to provide a teaching tool that includes a guide on tools, tune-ups and repairs.
If you know or have access to any kind of learning tools and feel comfortable to share, please write to me at : katy@cyclonordsud.org
Thanks,
Katy Collet
