About Us

Community Bike Hub is a multifaceted social enterprise developed in collaboration with Local Impact.

The Community Bike Hub services the community in a broad variety of ways: we run a full service retail workshop, an education program teaching basic bike mechanic skills to over 300 students per year, alongside a community volunteer program that contributes to our mission of creating a sustainable and circular economy while funnelling into our donation program providing equitable access to active transport for refugees and asylum seekers.
