OUR WORK
Cycle Sense sells affordable secondhand bikes, paint and provide cycle trainers, bike maintenance, community cycle bus and training and upskilling opportunities. They divert paint from disposal & incineration to provide affordable good quality paint for reuse in the community through unique collaboration between Cork City and County Council. In addition to helping the environment, this is has a positive economic impact through job creation and reduced costs for the community groups and individuals who use the paint.
