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!

Mothership Adrift Travel and Sailing
We're a UK family who have saved over many years to live the dream of travelling the world with our kids. We sold our belongings, closed our business and rented our house to buy a 20 year old sailboat . We want to show the kids that there is a bigger world out there and to appreciate the simple things in life, things that you find in the sea, the woods, up mountains, along the beach , the sky and the stars. Our dream of cruising and exploring the world's oceans is matched with a desire to live a more off-grid and sustainable lifestyle. A background as RYA instructors, flotilla skippers and RNLI crew only partly prepared us for the challenges of a live-aboard life! From buying a boat to homeschooling the kids, from cooking on a budget to making money while we travel, from sailboat maintenance to visiting amazing places - join our journey and share in our world adventure, as well as the challenges of family life, through our series of video blogs.
