Come join the peloton. Does your bike need a facelift? Are the brakes a little soft? Is the chain low on oil? So, take your bikes out of the cellars, parking lots and balconies and go to the barnums-workshops set up by BicyclAide at the initiative of the OPH, at various points in the City. With this original formula, the association created in 2009 and today incorporated as a SCIC (cooperative society of collective interest) offers residents the opportunity to come with their bikes. On site, two professional mechanics and volunteers will make a diagnosis and help you repair your bike by giving you advice and putting tools at your disposal. Created under the aegis of a group of citizens convinced that "recycling bicycles is a sufficiently rich and accessible activity to justify jobs and allow people in professional difficulty to access them", BicyclAide has developed around values of the social and solidarity economy. The first services were reserved for private members of the association. Then, in order to ensure its sustainability, the offer has diversified and the company now offers its know-how to local authorities, including the City of Gennevilliers, and to companies wishing to encourage the use of bicycles for their employees. The team is made up of three employees and around twenty volunteers, including a few from Gennevillois. Another strong commitment of the cooperative, that in favor of environmentally friendly practices through recycling, the reuse of bicycles destined for waste and public awareness of the use of the urban bicycle as an alternative to the car. "These mobile workshops are very successful because they meet the inhabitants, are intergenerational and strengthen social ties", underlines Charlotte Niewiadomski, manager of the cooperative. These values echo those defended by the OPH of Gennevilliers. In 2015, BicyclAide also opened a workshop-boutique in the Luth district *, where you can also have your bike repaired or buy a new or used one. 33 rue des Chevrins 92230 GENNEVILLIERS Phone. : 01 46 85 88 88 E-mail: contact@gennevilliershabitat.fr Gennevilliers Habitat © 2021 | Conditions générales | Se connecter
