Bikes With­out Borders

Bikes With­out Bor­ders was launched in July 2012 with the aim of sup­port­ing refugees in Karl­sruhe with rental bikes. Inter­est­ed peo­ple are also trained in repair­ing bicy­cles and inte­grat­ed into the project work.

With the mon­ey avail­able to refugees each month, they can bare­ly afford the cost of using pub­lic trans­port. How­ev­er, mobil­i­ty always means per­son­al free­dom and integration.
They can vis­it friends or fam­i­ly mem­bers, take part in coun­sel­ing ser­vices and Ger­man cours­es and get to know the city and sur­round­ing area.
We want to sup­port this with our services.

Bicy­cle dis­tri­b­u­tion and repairs take place twice a week. We ask for a small con­tri­bu­tion for this:

• Bicy­cle: 10 — 35 EURO, depend­ing on qual­i­ty and equipment
• Lock: 3 — 5 EURO, depend­ing on quality
• Spare parts: if new, pur­chase price; used free of charge

🪛 Active par­tic­i­pa­tion in repairs is one of the cor­ner­stones of our project.
🫶🏻 We are there­fore always very hap­py when inter­est­ed peo­ple want to devel­op their skills and help us with the work.

🚲 Sup­port in the form of donat­ed bikes, spare parts, tools and active help is very welcome!
