A solidarity bike workshop for all

Cyclofficine, located in Angoulême, France, is a bicycle repair workshop created in 2013 with a clear mission: to promote bicycle usage while supporting environmental sustainability. The initiative focuses on inclusivity and solidarity by offering repair services, training, and mobility support to vulnerable groups, including women, young exiles, people with disabilities, and students. Their efforts align with fostering green mobility and recycling, aiming to combat climate change and reduce urban pollution. 

Targeting vulnerability
The workshop offers a range of services, including repair workshops for women, exiles, and students, while providing free services to low-income individuals. With 520 hours of training and 576 bicycles recovered, Cyclofficine makes an environmental impact by diverting waste from landfills and providing mobility to those who need it most. 

Promoting inclusion
Cyclofficine focuses on providing mobility solutions for people with disabilities, young exiles, and students. The initiative equips them with repaired bicycles and teaches mechanics skills to promote independence and sustainable transport options.
