“Rediscover Cycling” extends the lifespan of equipment and materials through repair and reuse. By decreasing mass production of bikes, it reduces resource use (materials, energy and water) and avoids environmental impacts, such as CO2 emissions. Rediscover Cycling also has social benefits, because it provides access to bicycles at a lower cost. Most importantly, it promotes the use of a more sustainable mode of transportation that does not cause GHG emissions.
