The Sackville Good Bike Project

The Sackville Good Bike Project Bringing artistry and cycling to the community. The members of the Day Break community participated in the project by painting the bikes.

Where the Bikes Come From:
The bikes come from donation by members of the community through the Sackville spring garbage cleanup. All the bikes used are nonoperational and were to be sent to a land fill or scrap metal yard if they had not be rescued by The Good Bike Project. By including those within the community to engage in this project we hope to further bridge the gap between community and cl

assroom. As this is part of the community classroom course, offered through Mount Allison University, we feel we have achieved our goals. Where to Find the Bikes:
Some of the bikes are placed outside businesses, which are considered to be
community builders, promoters of artistic exploration (both past and present), and
positive influences in the town. They can also be found in parks, along walking paths, outside the entrances to Water Fowl Park, and Physical Activity Centers. Bikes in the Community:
Biking is a fantastic form of transportation, keeping you and your families’ healthy,
opening opportunities to interact and enjoy the environment as you travel, and
appreciate your home better. The bikes are more than an artistic instillation; feel free to lock your personal bikes
to our own as well as to take note of the colour meanings. What the Colours Mean:
• Yellow –Physical Activity Centers
• Orange – Designated Bike paths
• Blue – Environmentally Conscious Community Builders
• Red – Art
• Green – Knowledge
Go on a scavendure hunt throughout town to find all the bikes! As citizens of Sackville, please enjoy the
benefits the cycling brings, and keep your
eye out for where the Good Bikes are
tucked away in the down town core. We hope to see you on the trails
sometime.

A sad day for Sackville, the Good Bikes were put away from the Winter on Wednesday October 31 in order to save them from the snow, ice and bad weather. There is still a blue bike in the tree outside Aliper's Hearth on York Street, but the rest are gone for now. However, there will still be activities going on throughout the winter, so keep an eye and ear open for them!

Hey! That's my bike :D One artistic community group helping another :)

Our Story

The Sackville Good Bike Project is a public art installation program dedicated to the visual promotion of increased bike services in the municipality of Sackville, New Brunswick. The bicycles different colours relate to a community activation indication, and their strategic locations around Sackville draw attention to areas of high-quality bike play-space, or areas which need improvement.

Where the Bikes Come From:

The bikes come from donations by members of the community through the Sackville spring garbage cleanup. All the bikes used are nonoperational and were to be sent to a landfill or scrap metal yard if they had not been rescued by The Good Bike Project.

The members of the Day Break community participated in the project by painting the bikes. By including those within the community to engage in this project we hope to further bridge the gap between community and classroom. As this is part of the community classroom course, offered through Mount Allison University, we feel we have achieved our goals.
