Save a Bike
Description
Save a Bike is an initiative of Enactus Tilburg University and provides bike sales, rentals and repairs in a social and environmentally friendly way. Every year, the city of Tilburg cleans the streets of over 3,500 broken and abandoned bikes. Enactus Tilburg University has developed and applied a new concept in which those bikes are recycled, repaired and offered to local students.. Through the “Save a Bike” project active students contribute to the local community of Tilburg in a social and sustainable way- to make our city cleaner, safer and even more student-friendly.
“Save a Bike” has four main pillars. Firstly, it satisfies the high demand for cheap and functioning bikes among higher education students. Regardless whether a student is Dutch, international or on exchange in Tilburg, they all need cheap means of transport. Secondly, abandoned bikes saved by the project do not end up in the landfills, which results in a cleaner environment. Reduced waste and green thinking show our responsibility for the planet. Thirdly, “Save a Bike” project integrates students with companies and institutions working together towards a shared goal. It shows that Tilburg is a really an active and open city. Finally, providing cheap bikes from a legal source will lower the incidence of bike theft. The expectation is that the demand for stolen bikes will decrease and your bike will be safer.
Besides Enactus Tilburg University, this project is supported by Cardan as well as Akzo Nobel, Acceleration and WonenBreburg. Thanks to those and other partners, all of the characteristic blue bikes are equipped with a set of bike lights and a lock. With new sponsors, we hope to provide students with a goody-bag filled with other bicycle accessories and materials.
