Don't buy new.
Rescue one.
A new commuter bike puts 250+ kg of CO2 into the air before you've pedalled a single metre. We pull abandoned bikes off Tallinn's streets, rebuild them properly, and hand them back to the city - some for a minimal price, some for free.
A "new bike" is never really clean
Mining the metal. Running the factory. Shipping it from factory to supplier, supplier to store, store to you. A standard commuter bike emits at least 250 kg of CO2 before it reaches your hands - and an e-bike emits far more. Meanwhile, perfectly good bikes rust away in courtyards and basements across the city.
250+ kg CO2 per new bike
Frame production, components, assembly and global shipping all add up - before the first ride. E-bikes, with batteries and motors, emit even more.
Thousands of bikes, abandoned
Locked, forgotten, left behind. Most need little more than new tyres, brakes and a tune-up to ride for years more.
Repair beats replace
Refurbishing an existing bike uses a tiny fraction of the energy of manufacturing a new one. The greenest bike is the one that already exists.
One platform. Three ways to rescue a bike.
However you join, the result is the same: one less bike in the scrap pile, one less new bike manufactured, 250+ kg of CO2 that never enters the atmosphere.
Take a free rescue bike
Pick a rescued bike for €0. You get it safety-checked and fixed at one of our partner workshops - so it's safe to ride and comes with extended warranty from people who know bikes.
Buy one we've rebuilt
Our mechanics fully refurbish the best rescues and sell them directly at a minimal price. Ready to ride out the door, checked end to end.
Buy from a local workshop
Existing workshops sell their refurbished bikes through our platform too. You support local repair businesses and keep more bikes in circulation.
How much CO2 can you save?
Every bike rescued instead of bought new keeps at least 250 kg of CO2 out of the atmosphere. See what that really means.
Based on around 250 kg CO2e for a standard commuter bike - production and transport only. E-bikes save considerably more.
From abandoned to back on the street
We find & collect
Working with the city and our suppliers, we collect abandoned bikes across Tallinn before they're scrapped.
We assess
Every frame is inspected. Good ones get rebuilt; the rest become spare parts - nothing goes to waste.
Workshops rebuild
Our mechanics and partner workshops bring each bike back to safe, road-ready condition.
You ride
Come check the bikes in person, pick yours, and ride off knowing you've just saved 250 kg of CO2.
Built in Tallinn. Made for Europe.
Abandoned bikes are everywhere - so the rescue can't stop at one city.
This is for the community, by the community
Visit the workshop, check the bikes with your own hands, take one home. Donate a bike you no longer ride. Or partner with us as a workshop. Every rescued bike gives something back to the city.
