Volunteers needed for Bikes 4 Life workshop, 28th July, 171 Gibbs Street. Chatswood

Join our bike fixing workshop for "Bikes 4 Life" - on 28th July, at 171 Gibbs Street, Chatswood (northern End, behind Bunnings).

No special skills or tools required - if you can pump up a tyre, you can help. Come for an hour, or come for the day. Tools, Lunch and Music is provided. This event is organised by Chris, one of our local Northern Beaches MTB'ing mates. So far he and his volunteers have collected, fixed up and sent over 400 bikes to needy people in remote communities in Africa and Australia.

Bikes 4 Life is a global community initiative that is dedicated to providing bicycles to people, particularly youth, who are underprivileged, aimed at helping the most vulnerable, isolated and neglected groups within society. It started with the idea to raise bikes for displaced people, former child soldiers and victims of war in Northern Uganda. We are now starting to also raise bikes for marginalized indigenous communities in Central Australia and on a local level, for disadvantaged youth and families most in need.
