We have posted this flyer around on local bulletin boards in community
organizations and grocery stores to collect donated bikes here for the
'Fix your bike' project in Amsterdam ... it has worked pretty well.
Text reads, roughly translated: ' Do you have somewhere an old
bike ? That you don't do anything with anymore? Would you like to do
something good with it?
Then it would be very nice of you to donate it to the workshop, 'Fix
your bike' for youth, sponsored by ( local community development
organization..)
Hope this helps... I scanned the wonderful line drawing from a German
anarchist bike repair book, 'Das Grosse Fahrradbuch.'

Are there any groups out there with strong partnerships with local
municipalities or campuses to collect abandoned bicycles? I know
the Recyclery (Chicago) and many other groups certainly pick up
donations from police departments and the like, but we have a number
of volunteers and a campus environmental group working on setting up
a structured collection program and are looking for ways to
proceed. Do you, for example, have a specific notice or flyer you
attach to bikes? We are thinking of something that says "hello,
this bike looks abandoned. if it is yours, you can fix it up at the
recyclery. Otherwise it will be removed..."Anyhow, just wondering if anyone has already done this. Thanks for
your help!Erik @ The Recyclery (Chicago) _______________________________________________ Thethinktank mailing list Thethinktank@bikecollectives.org To unsubscribe, send a blank email to TheThinkTank-leave@bikecollectives.org To manage your subscription, plase visit: http://lists.bikecollectives.org/listinfo.cgi/thethinktank-bikecollectives.o...
