Crowdfunding for our new bike workshop in Newtown.

Wellington

After 6 years collecting, repairing and rehoming bike for people in the Wellington region, we are finally setting up our own workshop!

We have a great location on Russell Terrace thanks to SWIS. Now we need to raise the funds to buy and fit out a second container for our workshop. It's a big job but we're up to the task!

Can you help us bring our community bike workshop to life?

About us

EkeRua ReBicycle is a charitable community organisation that is all about getting more people on bikes.

Every month, we receive dozens of bikes donated by generous Wellingtonians. Our volunteer mechanics fix them up and we carefully match them to people who need a bike.

So far we have repaired and re-homed over 2500 donated bikes in the Wellington region...and that number is continuing to grow!

We also create opportunities for tamariki from all backgrounds to learn and challenge themselves on bikes.

Use of funds

We plan to purchase a 40 foot container, install doors, solar panels and a water tank. We'll have an outdoor covered workspace. And move our 20 foot storage container on site. Then make it all beautiful, warm and functional!

The container is ready! 29 September 2022

Our brand new shiny green container is ready to go. All going well, it will be delivered next week, with movers delivering the heavy furniture the following day and a working bee on Saturday the 8th to fit out the workshop. Details of this are on our Facebook event.

We're super stoked to finally have our own space to expand our mechanical offerings. And it's all thanks to the support we've recieved from people like you. Thanks again so much.

Once we're settled in, we'll be sure to let you all know so you can come check it out.
