![]() ![]() The bike shop builds upon more than six years of work committed to repairing donated bikes and distributing the refurbished bikes to families and neighbors in need.Īdding to the excitement of the hub is the addition of the region’s first E-Bike Library! Community members from the neighborhood can qualify to borrow an e-bike for free, or they can access a selection of donated bikes, which have been serviced and repaired. The hub will also offer a variety of bike related workshops throughout the year. By providing a place where cyclists can have bikes repaired and serviced (through community workshops), they will have a healthy and reliable transportation option when it comes to accessing jobs and essential services. The purpose of the new bike-friendly hub will be to get more people riding bikes, so that they have another transportation option at their disposal. One of ESBC’s newest initiatives is the opening of a Community Workshop and E-Bike Library. Organizations that comprise the Buffalo United Front are: The Family, East Side Bike Club, Friends of Broderick Park, The Fathers, and Enough is Enough. Thankfully Buffalo is home to the East Side Bike Club (ESBC – affiliate of the Buffalo United Front) – a non-profit organization that promotes inclusivity, safety, and access to a broader and more cohesive bike culture in an underserved community. The East Side is not only lacking in bike amenities and infrastructure, there is also a dearth of bikes. Just as important as strengthening the East Side’s healthy food offerings is providing safe and reliable transportation options. ![]()
