Breathing new life into pre-loved bicycles and giving them to new grateful owners: that's what the Cycle to School initiative is all about.

Organised by Shah Alam, Selangor-based eco-charity platform EcoFreeMarket (EFM), the bicycle donation drive aims to collect used or pre-loved bicycles for students from low-income communities in Sik, Kedah and Bachok, Kelantan.

To date, EFM's co-founder Rahmat Bayudi said they have received 70 bicycles, and he hopes to reach their target of 80 before the donation drive ends on Feb 21 (Monday).
