2026

On our first day back in 2026 at BB4L we had 16 volunteers working at the shed and we received 19 bikes from 8 different donors. Currently we have two projects that we are preparing bikes for and expect to deliver all bikes for those projects in early February.

2025

During 2025, we received just over 200 bikes, most of which we donated back to the local community after refurbishment. In addition, 27 bikes were sold to cover our operating costs for the year.

During December 2025, we provided a total of 20 bikes across 3 different groups – Multi-link, MICAH and Salvation Army.
