It will be inaugurated on May 20 at 10:30 a.m. at the social center "Il Giardino" (Via Roma, inside the Dalla Chiesa Gardens) the Bike Bank, a project promoted by the social center "Il Giardino," UISP Delegazione Valdarno, FIAB Valdarno in Bici and the association "Gli anelli mancanti" and realized thanks to the contribution of Banca di Cambiano, Unipol Sai, BCC Credito Cooperativo and the Municipality of Figline and Incisa Valdarno. In detail, the project consists of making a number of bicycles available for citizens (adults or minors accompanied by their parents) to borrow free of charge. Also part of this collection are the 10 bikes that, in June 2016, the Rotary Club of Valdarno donated to the association "The Garden."
In addition, the Bike Bank will also welcome donations of unused bicycles or bicycles in need of repair to its storage facility, which will be refurbished within the community center's bike workshop or used as spare parts. The ultimate goal is to promote both sustainable mobility and the use of Figline's bike path. The bike workshop-dedicated precisely to small repairs and restoration of old bike bodies-was also inaugurated in May 2015, thanks to the contribution of the same sponsors and funds donated by the Presidency of the Council of the Municipality of Figline and Incisa Valdarno, which were obtained during the June 2 celebrations. Inside, volunteer members of the association "The Garden" work, which also includes refugees housed in an accommodation facility in Palazzo. And they are the ones who in late 2015 participated in the repair of some bikes, which the association then decided to give them as gifts. After the inauguration of the Bike Bank, refreshments will be offered to all participants.
