ReCycle: Service Reflection

You may or may not have seen the saga of posts I have made dedicated to this service. But from the title of this post, I believe that you’ll be able to deduce the aim of this post. In this post, I strive to inscribe the experience that ReCycle has given me over it’s two term course. What I’ve found challenging, learned and what I enjoyed.

First of all I would like to say that this service  was a service rife with opportunities for learning. In the beginning I wast simply a zygote in the expansive world of bike systems. As soon as I begin to work on my first bike, it was a mess disassembling the parts. I was left with an amalgam of nut, bolts and confusing machinery.

The process being complicated, I naturally went to Mr. Willams seeking help. From this I learned how to replace a tyre, how to fully disassemble a bike, reattach a chain and how to remove the braking system from a bike. With this information, I was quickly able to finish refurbishing my bike and assist with many other people.

 

From my efforts I learned about the methods of building a bike and the different ways they can function. This new information was not only rewarding to learn, but also taught me the use of many different tools. Being able to use these tools turned me sanguine with curiosity.

Furthermore, working on these bikes brought me in close proximity to many different people, who’s perspectives were not only unique but enhancing to my experience. I am glad to say that I was able to make new friends, who’s input I now have the benefit of using.

Overall, I feel like I have been giving the access to opportunity of many new future prospects with this service. The challenges I have faced have not only calloused my hands with experience, but brought me many new friendships and learnings that shall be cherished for years to come
