Since kicking off in September 2019, the Bike Hub has donated an incredible 280 recycled bikes back to those in need in the inner west community. That’s an average of 10 bikes a week!
The bikes are part of a donate and recycle program developed by Footscray Bike Shed, where donated bikes are repaired by a dedicated group of volunteers every Saturday at the Bike Hub. The volunteers have been overwhelmed with donations so the program has now extended to Monday evenings.
In recent weeks, the Bike Hub has partnered with Brimbank Council’s Resource Recovery Centre which receives unwanted goods for recycling, including bikes, and already 41 bikes have been received.
