Bikes Repaired and Recycled after being Illegally Dumped in Nature Reserve

This footage is from a few months ago while still in Lefkas. It was missed out of our main Travel and Sailing BIG blogs due to lack of time, bandwidth and disk space! We've uploaded it as a smaller microblog here because it raises important issues. Walking around beautiful wetlands on Lefkada - Greece, we found a local fly tipping spot, with trash dumped over a wide area. Everywhere we've been so far, illegal littering and dumping of household waste has been common. It was even more upsetting in this case as it was in the heart of a nature reserve on the coastline with a neighbouring a shoreline strewn with plastic pollution and marine litter. It was heartbreaking to see, but amongst all the rubbish we found a discarded bike that we decided to fix up, repair and recycle. I set up a pop up bike repair shop in the marina and in the end fixed up four bikes that winter - two from the boat and two we found dumped. It's easy to become despondent and overwhelmed when you see this sort of thing, but in this case we were able to put a tiny dent in the problem by recovering bikes amongst the trash.. and recycled them for less than €50!
