VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Please email us if you are interested in volunteering with Bikes 4 Life. We have an urgent need for assistance in repairing donated bicycles and welcome any level of support.
DONATIONS
If you have a bicycle you would like to donate to our projects, we have a temporary warehouse in Gardenvale, where we can accept donations. We also welcome the donation of bike parts and tools, and if you know anything about fixing bikes – even just basic knowledge, please consider stopping by to help with some much needed bike maintenance of our donated bicycles! We don’t currently hold regular workshops but we are looking to hold one day a month for open community workshops, so please let us know if you are interested or check back here for updates regarding the next workshop day!
BIKE DROP OFF ADDRESS

Melbourne News
Our Gardenvale workshop is coming together slowly, and we recently help a special workshop day with a school from Benalla. The students and teachers travelled over three hours to get to us, to not only donate bikes but they also spent a few hours fixing bikes and preparing them for shipment to our next big project, likely to be East Timor! Thanks guys, great effort!
In March 2026 we are hosting another school day with students from King David. King David has supported Bikes 4 Life in the past with such initiatives and we are extremely grateful for their continued support!
