JOONDALUP Education Support Centre has received four repurposed bicycles to use on a bike track that it recently had built.
Students use the bike track to develop their road skills through reading road signs and using the pedestrian crossing.
The centre received bicycles to use on the track from the Cyril Jackson Secondary College Education Support Centre in Bassendean, which runs a project to rescue and repurpose bikes.
