Issues Of The Environment: Recycling Your Bicycles

David Yapp has opened a new store in downtown Ypsilanti. It's aim is get the community more involved in cycling at an affordable price, and to benefit the environment. How? find out in this week's installment of 'Issues of the Environment.'  

Overview
  *   Housing affordability is a hot topic in the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area right now with many lower-income service-industry workers commuting from home in Ypsi to work in Ann Arbor.

  *   Despite the reappearance of the polar vortex there are commuters from Ypsi who bike everyday, in all weather conditions, but doing so requires proper gear which can be costly.
  *   Dave Yapp, owner of Recycled Cycles, offers second hand bikes and can equip those on a budget with the needed gear for their commute, long or short, year round.
