The Workshop is operated by Bikes for Refugees SA Inc ...a small, volunteer run, not for profit and registered charity. Find out about us at the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission (www.acnc.gov.au). the workshop is our charity op shop, selling don

ated second hand bikes and parts. We do this to raise funds to support refugees and asylum seekers, and to keep the workshop going (rent, bike parts, tools, insurance..) Like other op shops, We also provide direct help to people in hardship .. welfare organisations can refer clients for a free bike. Our volunteers also do repairs, and answer bike related queries. Cyclists can borrow tools, to repair their own bikes. Like other op shops, we welcome donations of good condition bikes, and bike parts. we put a lot of time checking and servicing goods, before they go out for sale. The workshop is open Tue to Sat, and is always busy. we handle around 1200 bikes a year, is 20 to 30 bikes every week. we have regular spots. you need to be a bike rider and able to check and repair bikes and use tools.

Our Story

Come and use the workshop: 111 Franklin St, Adelaide https://adelaidebikeworkshop.wordpress.com/ Visitors and volunteers with or without experience will be encouraged and empowered to learn how to repair their own bicycles or recycle old donated ones. A volunteer roster will be used to maintain regular opening hours. The long running Bicycles for Refugees project will also move into the space from its current backyard location. The Adelaide Community Bicycle Workshop will provide bicycles at affordable prices to the broader community but the disadvantaged would be encouraged to buy reconditioned and safe bikes from the workshop. Any money generated will be put back into buying tools, parts and workshop requirements, and surplus will go to other charities helping people in need. It wont be a bike shop selling new equipment. It will not be place to score rare and valuable parts. It is not a repair business. If someone has a bike in need of repair they will be assisted in how to do it. Fundamentally it is about promoting bicycle culture and encourage bicycle use in the city and promote a healthy lifestyles to the community. This post, while serving as an announcement, is also a call-out for expressions of interest to anyone who might be interested on being involved. We need all sorts of help from being able to repair bike, open the workshop up at particular times, collect and deliver donated bikes, be a shopkeeper, promote, host workshops on a range of topics. If you are interested follow this blog or join the group set up here on Adelaide Cyclists - Adelaide Community Bike Co-operative Workshop which will act as a way of keeping in contact and sharing ideas. This is a very very exciting project and I hope you all share my interest in seeing it get off the ground.
