The Discovery Routes Recycle bikes program with the support of the North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority is expanding.

There is now a location to store and repair donated bicycles.

That’s at the Laurentian Ski Hill’s lower lodge.

Bikes will be collected throughout the spring and summer and adults and kids bikes will both be accepted.

Donated bikes can be dropped off at the North Bay YMCA and you will receive a $25 charitable receipt for tax purposes.

60 bikes have been dropped off in the first 3 years of the program.
