ABK promotes re-cycling through the salvaging and re-homing of unwanted bikes. ABK also enjoys making use of bits that no longer serve their primary purpose. So if making a doormat from your old MTB tyres, upholstering outdoor furniture with spent inner tubes, mounting bar antlers, bike stands, fixing ornate cog and chain owls on timber or crafting bespoke up-cycled jewellery sounds at all appealing, come check out their interactive workshop on the main street from 1-3pm on Saturday and give it a go. On ya' bike then! RECYCLE AND CREATE There'll be two Recycled Art Projects, one using bottle tops and the other using old bike tubes. Help by collecting all of your plastic bottle lids. You will have an opportunity to create a beautiful mural for the Melrose Primary School. Join in making an amazing sculpture from tubes collected by Over the Edge bike shop. The sculpture will stay a permanent fixture in the caravan park. Come along and help COOL FOR KIDS create musical instruments from recycled goods.
