WeCycle is a volunteer-run community bike shed in Northcote since 2015.

Our mission:

To provide bicycles to members of the community who would otherwise not have the means to obtain a bicycle and to empower people to maintain their own bicycle and provide accessble learning opportunities for all levels of ability.

Objectives:

WeCycle is proud to be meeting its objectives:

• providing low-cost bicycles to marginalised members of our community

• reducing landfill by repairing and recycling unwanted bicycles

• providing access to cycling and bicycle maintenance as a sustainable means of transport and to reduce pollution and traffic congestion

• helping members of the community to keep fit and healthy

• empowering women to gain access to an independent means of transport

• offer opportunities to enhance community connectedness and social inclusion

Values:

• to re-use old bicycles and bicycle parts to keep environmental impacts and financial costs low, thereby keeping useful resources from going to landfill.

•  we advocate environmental preservation and conservation by encouraging the use of the bicycle as a sustainable form of transportation and recreation

• we promote cycling as a safe, viable and affordable transport option.

• we are not-for profit and any surplus will go back into the project.
