We've partnered with the Inner West Community Bike Hub to collect and provide pre-loved bikes to people in need.
The Give a Bike program returns unwanted or abandoned bicycles back to the community. The bikes begin as donations and are fully fixed, then given to local people in need.
Aim
- Providing bicycles to people in need
- Reusing and repairing donated bicycles
- Promoting sustainability;
- Promoting and providing access to low cost, sustainable and active transport (aka healthy means of transport)
