Free Rides for the Naenae Community

$1,200 donated
Given by 13 generous donors in one year

We are raising funds to pay for mechanics to fix bikes so that we can provide them to our community at no cost.

Naenae, Lower Hutt

Free Ride is a Project set up to increase bike riding for transportation, recreation and fitness.

We recycle bikes out of the community, ox them using local mechanics and give them away to our members for free. We also provide free helmets, safety gear, cycle skills classes and mechanic courses. Your support means my community has better transport, fitness and recreation options at no cost. Give $50 to pay for an hour of mechanics time. Give $30 to buy someone a helmet. Give $25 to buy a tyre. Give $12 to pay for an inner tube. Every little bit helps someone get their own bike.
