Guest Blog: Bike for Good Black Friday Activities

‘Make Something Week’ by Bike For Good

The following blog is from the charity, Bike For Good about upcoming activities and events in your area.

‘The run up to Christmas and Black Friday is exciting and fun but the temptation to buy new 'stuff' as gifts is all around us. With waste at an all-time high, why not do something a bit different this year and buy something pre-loved or, even better, make something using recycled bike parts!

Join Bike for Good for a week of events and activities designed to reduce waste and get thinking about the importance of reuse and sustainable living . Check out their programme for film nights, try-before-you-buy sessions, workshops and cycling fun-days.’
