When bikes are abandoned on Georgia Tech’s campus- it happens more than you would think- StarterBikes takes them in, restores them, and then find them a new home! But not all bikes can be saved. This weekend we helped take apart bikes too damaged to repair, saved those parts that could be used again, and prepped the rest for recycling. A great story of reuse and responsible disposal- big thanks to @recycle.gatech for taking these bikes to be recycled. #reuse #recycle #bike
