The Ciclofficina (garage for bikes) in Turin is an equipped space where it is possible to mend one’s own bicycle at a very low cost , that is usually a little higher than the spares one. All this is possible thanks to one’s personal commitment and the collaboration with others. The repair activity has not a profit, but it allows everybody, also the one who has limited economic resources to have an economic, ecological and reliable means i.e the bicycle.The Ciclofficina offers courses for the self-repair of inner tubes, setup of brakes and gears, the rolling radius disposal and the balancing of wheels and bicycles repairs. Besides being a meeting and exchange point for the city cyclists it is also a center of promotion and incentive of a sustainable urban mobility through initiatives and a demonstrations of sensitization of the use of the bicycle as a means of transport. The cilcofficina, managed by the association Muovi Equilibri, in this period is housed in the occupied classroom 1M of the Polytechnic in Turin at 71 Boggio street and it is open on Saturdays from 3,00 p.m to 7.00 p.m.
