The production of metal frames, wheels, mechanical components and synthetic materials requires energy and natural resources. Moreover, the distribution of bicycles, which often takes place globally, involves significant emissions related to transport.

In this context, the choice to repair a bike instead of replacing it is also an act of responsibility towards the environment and future generations. Repairing, rather than throwing, helps to raise awareness of the importance of reducing waste and opting for more sustainable solutions.
