Rediscover Cycling puts life back into unwanted bicycles
The Rediscovery Centre is the National Centre for the Circular Economy in Ireland. It is a creative movement connecting people, ideas and resources to support greener low-carbon living. It brings together the skills and expertise of artists, scientists, designers and craftspeople united in a common purpose of sustainability.
Rediscover Cycling is a bicycle reuse social enterprise dedicated to building and reconditioning bicycles whilst providing training and employment opportunities. It has been putting life back into unwanted bicycles since 2010 and is located at the Rediscovery Centre in Ballymun, Dublin.
Bicycles are donated to Rediscover Cycling at various drop off areas at recycling centres around Dublin and are then revamped and sold at the Rediscovery Centre Eco Store.
The Rediscover Cycling team also provides on-site bike clinics to corporate and other organisations to promote sustainable transport.
