Great Britain: Old Cycles for Refugees

The event is organised by the London-based Bike Project, which takes abandoned bicycles and donates them mainly to refugees and asylum seekers.

We believe that no asylum seekers in Great Britain should be forced to choose between a bus and a hot meal”, Nicola Hill said.

Asylum seekers get 37,75 pounds a week.

“Bus travel per week can cost up to 21 pounds. Many people are poor and isolated from society. They have no access to basic services,” she added.

Otherwise, the Bike Project is supported by cycling and engine associations, the Guardian broadcast.
