Event Description

Bikes are popular with young people in outback communities - but they often miss out.

BISA has a one-off opportunity to supply bikes for young people living in e.g APY lands (Fregon and Amata); around Yulara (Mutitjulu and perhaps Docker River and Finke); and around Coober Pedy.

We have 60 used bikes available. To get them to the Outback communities - we simply make sure they are clean and reliable, then box them up, and take them to the road freight depot , here in Adelaide. Then shipment and shipping costs are looked after by Umoona Council, DFCS, Mission Australia, and Bottles&Chains

Community Workshop - who collect the bikes on arrival in Coober or Yulara, take them to remote communities, and hand them on.

So come and help make it happen!

Where: 13 Mines road, Campbelltown SA 5074
9 am-sunset both days!

No need to book - just turn up. Come for an hour , or stay all day, as you wish.

Just bring old clothes, bike tools if you have them, and a helmet for test riding.

All kinds of help needed!
Refreshments provided!

Comment by Angus Kingston on November 18, 2009 at 11:16am: I'll be there from 9.30 - 1100 on Saturday. I'll bring my chain whip.. to whip it.. whip it good... and a bit of orange degreaser.

If you are riding it's not too far off the Linear Park trail as well.

Comment by Patrick Sunter on November 18, 2009 at 11:01am: I will try and get up on Sunday morning for a few hours, am going to a BBQ nearby in the arvo.

Comment by Jeremy Miller on November 17, 2009 at 12:07pm: Always happy to have more bikes into the mix. If you are able to drop them off to the address in Campbelltown (Mike's place) or bring them on the day that would be great :-)

Comment by David Bowler on November 17, 2009 at 11:47am: Do you know if they want any more bikes? We have a couple kids bikes in working order which my daughters have outgrown.

Comment by Alexander Langman Hender on November 17, 2009 at 9:07am: I'm not sure when I'll make it up there, but I'll make it up there!

Hopefully I'll also shanghai the missus to come and help.
