Re-Cycle Project by Max Hofman

Based in Young, Max's Re-Cycle project brings bikes to kids across the Riverina. These are kids who have never ridden a bike and/or can’t afford one - Max and his team not only teach these kids to ride, they also give them a bike! Part of the process is fixing up old bikes so they learn the mechanics along the way too - it is a fantastic holistic project.

The ReCycle Project always needs bikes. If you have spares - email us here: sam@bikeodyssey.cc to get in touch and Bike Odyssey will arrange to come to pick them up and pass them on.
