Brighton Peace and Environment Centre
A new not-for-profit bicycle workshop has opened up in Brighton enabling bike owners to learn how to fix things themselves. CRANKS is run by a small team of volunteers who love bikes, love learning more about them and like collectively run spaces.
They want to encourage everyone, whatever age, gender or knowledge to learn to love their bike too. They run on donations, either monetary or material, and use second-hand and donated parts. So you can take in your old unwanted bikes and accessories and get them recycled. They say "We think bikes are great. They produce endorphins while beating traffic and reducing pollution. We feel independent when we ride them and even better when we know how to look after them".
So get down to 22 Chapel Street (between Edward Street and St James Street) on Fridays or Saturdays between 11am and 6pm and meet the super ace people there. They are also keen if you can offer to volunteer for a bit too.
