Rep’Eyre: serving bikes in Val de l’Eyre
The association Rep'Eyre, based on the Sylva 21 eco-industrial estate between Salles and Belin-Béliet, is a resource centre that recycles used everyday objects.
Rep'Eyre encourages cycling by running bike maintenance workshops where bike owners share know-how in order to be able to look after their own machines: bike autonomy.
As a measure of its commitment, the association is part of the "Heureux Cyclage" national repair workshop network.
