Last week I went out on a small bike trip & passed along this "bike workshop". As most Dutch people I love riding my bike and this workshop made me curious. I went in and met Frédéric & his fellow association members, who explained me how the ABC Atelier-Vélo works. Here you can repair your own bike with the help of volunteers. You can also purchase a used or refurbished bike & learn how to keep it in shape with recycled spare parts. And important to know: no they're not a bike-repair shop! You'll have to get at it yourself!
It was so nice seeing such a nice local initiative alive & kicking that I completely forgot to ask for Frédéric's favorite spot & restaurant in the Oise. Anyway, merci Fred!
Oh and to see Frédéric at work, please like JOELIX.com on Facebook!
Hello Judith,
Thanks for your interest in our bike organization and the nice pics you made last week. For any bike problems, you know now where the workshop is …
To end the omission you mentioned, a nice place to visit alone or with friends is the ” Musée de la Mémoire des Murs” in Verneuil en Halatte (http://www.memoiredesmurs.com/ ) and my favorite restaurant in Oise is ” L'Auberge de Puiseux” in Puiseux le Hauberger.
WOW! Nice blog Judith !
Fred
Merci beaucoup Fred! Excellent! The Musée de la Mémoire des Murs is on my list of places to visit. I was told it's really good. Thanks again and we'll be in touch soon for more bike related stuff ;o)
Great initiative and nice pictures! :)
Merci Iris!
