Free community bike workshop at 118 Shortland Street (Revive Church) Thursday afteroons 3 to 5:30pm
Aranui Bike Fixup operates every Thursday from 3 to 5:30 pm at Revive Church 118 Shortland Street. We can teach you how to fix your bike or do it for you depending on how many volunteers we have on the day. We receive donated bikes, restore them and donate them to those in the community who need them. We also assist people to repair their own bikes and teach bike repair skills. There is usually a drink and some yummy food going if you are waiting to get a repair done or need some fuel to keep you going on your repair. We take out regular biking groups exploring our beautiful city, forests and hills and maybe an overnight expedition or three.
To make a donation of bikes or parts or to share your bike fixing skills contact Steve 0210619296 or email aranuibikefixup@gmail.com. If you would like to support us financially please make a donation to 02-0863-0161950-000 (please tag it with "bike fixup" in the particulars)
