About Us

Picture
Village Bike is a local initiative posed as a realistic alternative to active travel on the Gold Coast. The first phase of Village bike is collecting bikes for repair or re-use.  Once we have bikes ready to go we will be trialling bikes through a number of Pilot Studies at Palm Beach and Burleigh called Café Racer, Basket Case, and the Crazy Horse Series. Ultimately the aim is to expand the Village Bike scheme throughout the Gold Coast. By 2018 a series of recycled Village Bike hubs will exist on the Gold Coast, providing free for all transport.

Village Bikes are intended to reflect the Gold Coast casual culture and be simple, robust and recycled. They are built for comfort, not for speed. 

You will not have to wear lycra, bike shorts or have a flash pushie.  You will be encouraged to work on the bikes yourself and to have a conversation with other members. You may be encouraged to get your hands dirty.


    The broad objectives of Village Bike are:
·       To promote sustainable transport alternatives on the Gold Coast
·       To promote sustainable initiatives of reduce, reuse, recycle in sourcing and repairing bikes for the scheme
·       To enhance community engagement through a series bike repair sheds
·       To become a Gold Coast wide institution embraced by the Community by 2018
·       To become a world leader in sustainable community initiatives
