Junk bike collection 6.4.-1.5.

The Otaniemi junk bike collection is here and it’s bigger than ever. This year, we’ll be collecting abandoned bikes in the Otaniemi area not only from properties owned by AYY and Hoas, but also from ACRE’s buildings.

All bikes will be marked with a colorful bracelet between the 6th and 8th of April. All bikes that still have the bracelet intact will be collected during May. So remember to remove the bracelet from your bike as soon as possible! Please also tell your friends and roommates who aren’t in Otaniemi during the collection period to make sure the bracelet is removed from their bicycle. Is your friend on an exchange? Help them out!
All collected bikes that are in good condition will be sold in September. Then is your chance to buy yourself a working bicycle at an affordable price.
