Co-sponsored by the Wilmette Bicycle Task Force, Go Green Wilmette and Wilmette Public Library, the event included participation by the Recyclery with a bike drive in the parking lot and information table in the auditorium. Library staff greeted cyclists and would-be cyclists at the door with water bottles and literature, guiding them to the auditorium where representatives from many local organizations and businesses provided them with all the latest information on cycling trends, or to the lawn where Wilmette Police helped properly fit bike helmets....

Students at Washington School in Evanston were delighted Friday, April 30th, 2010 by the bicycle sale that parents and staff organized, with the Recyclery's support, as part of the school's International Day event. Washington School parent Vickie Jacobsen, who previously organized Walk and Roll day to promote active transportation by students and families, saw a need for bicycles that could allow more students to participate. Working with social workers Paola Flores and Rose Ibarra, Vickie arranged for students to receive affordable bicycles from The Recyclery. Some students lined up right after school to get best selection when the sale started at 6pm....

Sales are held from 10AM to noon every Saturday. Refurbished road and mountain bikes for kids and adults are available at good prices, along with locks, lights, helmets and other equipment. The revenue benefits the Recyclery and help us continue our community programs, including the Freecyclery program providing bicycles to the needy, educational programs and open shop sessions. Open shop hours, on Tuesdays from 7-9PM and Saturdays from 1-5PM, are a great time to visit the Recyclery if you already have a bike that needs a spring tune-up. Using our tools and equipment, and, if needed, a little help from our volunteers, you can perform needed maintenance on your own bike. Parts are available for purchase....
