Bringing artistry and cycling to the community. The members of the Day Break community participated in the project by painting the bikes.
Where the Bikes Come From:
The bikes come from donation by members of the community through the Sackville spring garbage cleanup. All the bikes used are nonoperational and were to be sent to a land fill or scrap metal yard if they had not be rescued by The Good Bike Project. By including those within the community to engage in this project we hope to further bridge the gap between community and cl
assroom. As this is part of the community classroom course, offered through Mount Allison University, we feel we have achieved our goals. Where to Find the Bikes:
Some of the bikes are placed outside businesses, which are considered to be
community builders, promoters of artistic exploration (both past and present), and
positive influences in the town. They can also be found in parks, along walking paths, outside the entrances to Water Fowl Park, and Physical Activity Centers. Bikes in the Community:
Biking is a fantastic form of transportation, keeping you and your families’ healthy,
opening opportunities to interact and enjoy the environment as you travel, and
appreciate your home better. The bikes are more than an artistic instillation; feel free to lock your personal bikes
to our own as well as to take note of the colour meanings. What the Colours Mean:
• Yellow –Physical Activity Centers
• Orange – Designated Bike paths
• Blue – Environmentally Conscious Community Builders
• Red – Art
• Green – Knowledge
Go on a scavendure hunt throughout town to find all the bikes! As citizens of Sackville, please enjoy the
benefits the cycling brings, and keep your
eye out for where the Good Bikes are
tucked away in the down town core. We hope to see you on the trails
sometime.
