Ideas

We are putting some ideas in place at the moment (and still working with the kids of Tallaght and Rathmines). The cycling season is coming to an end, the weather is recalling us that winter is here, darkness is coming, but this is the great moment to develop certain ideas.

We met with a couple of people and we decided the following:

- we are going to get accreditated as bike instructors in the UK in December or January and try to provide training from February

- we are looking for partners to share a rent in Dublin city. The idea is mostly to create an open space where a community library and activities can be proposed to all in the community. Several emails have been sent, we will see if this idea can become a reality

- the trainings in bike maintenance should start soon. Delivering them on a regular basis would be a key success. This can be done through colleges. We contacted a couple of people and they seem to be interested.

Bike donations are still ongoing. It is still very important for us, as our group couldn't exist without the generous donations.

In short, we are working hard, the kids are progressing, patience is a virtue!
