Bike Recycle Designs Returns to BCA
Summer Art Market!
This summer, Bike Recycle Designs will sell products at the Burlington City Arts Summer Art Market! An extension of the Burlington Farmer's Market, we will be in City Hall Park every Saturday through October. Stop by and see the things we've created from recycled bike parts: inner tube earrings, spoke bracelets, tire belts, and more. If you're interested in volunteering as a vendor at the market, contact Hannah at hannah@bikerecycle.localmotion.org.

Featured Volunteer: Paul (and Caitlin)
Paul is a Boston native who made his way to Vermont by way of the Brandon Training School. In his spare time, Paul plays bocce ball, watches classic TV and movies, and serves as the president of a local self-advocacy group. Paul and his Community Inclusion Facilitator, Caitlin, come to work at Bike Recycle every week. Their focus is on customer service, and are at the center of the action during our open shop hours.
