The Tasmanian Bike Collective - creating a better future for at risk young people. The Tasmanian Bike Collective is supported by the Tasmanian Government.

The Tasmanian Bike Collective exist to create a better future for young people struggling at school or home. Now operating in 3 locations, each program works with local young people to increase work readiness skills, increase recreational opportunities and build healthy community around restoring, selling and riding bikes. We run the Risdon Vale, Huon Valley and Clarence Plains Bike Collective's with all workshops teaching young people how to restore and maintain bikes but also running as a second hand bike shop (not-for-profit). The main focus is for young people to develop job and life skills whilst a secondary benefit is providing affordable bikes to the community.

Alex came to the Bike Collective not quite sure what to expect. 💚

What he found was a place that asked something of him — and trusted him to deliver.

He learned important work skills. Developed a new way of thinking about challenges. And left with a confidence he didn't arrive with.

Alex's words: "I now think differently about things."

That shift in thinking — that's the real outcome of this program. Not just fixed bikes, but young people who are better equipped for whatever comes next. 🚲

Mason came to the Bike Collective at 11 years old.
It's pretty remarkable the person he’s become. 💚

He’s built resilience — learning how to handle tough moments and difficult people without losing his cool.

He’s picked up real retail and business skills that he knows will help him when it comes time to get a job.

And somewhere along the way, he discovered something that matters just as much: he genuinely wants to help others.

“Helped me help other kids if they need a hand on their bikes... wanting to be a helpful and kind person.”

Stories like Mason’s are why we do this work every single week. 🚲

Got a bike in the shed that hasn't moved in a while? 🚲

Donating it to the Tasmanian Bike Collective is one of the simplest ways to support young people in your community.

Your old bike becomes a training opportunity — stripped back, assessed and rebuilt by the hands of young people learning not just real mechanical skills but life skills, too.

Then the bike finds a new home with someone who needs it.

A good bike doesn't deserve to rust in a shed. 💚

Not every win in the workshop is a big one. 🔧

Sometimes it's getting the cable tension just right. Squeezing the last bit of life out of a worn brake pad. Finally getting that creaking bottom bracket to go quiet.

But those small wins add up. And for a young person who didn't believe they were capable of fixing anything — each one matters more than it might look from the outside.

That's the Bike Collective, one small win at a time. 💚 🚲

We don't make it easy. And that's kind of the point. 💚

At the Bike Collective, young people are expected to show up on time, contribute, and see a job through to the end — even when it gets frustrating.

Because the world they're heading into will ask the same things of them.

What we've found, time and again, is that when you hold young people to a real standard and walk alongside them as they rise to meet it — they do. Every single time.

That's what we're building here. 🚲

A lot of people ask us: what actually happens at a Bike Collective session? 🚲

Here's how it works:

✅ Young people arrive and sign in
✅ They're assigned tasks based on their skill level — from basic cleaning to full rebuilds
✅ They work alongside experienced mentors who guide rather than do
✅ They earn credits for every session they put in
✅ Those credits go toward bikes and parts of their own choosing

Simple structure. Real skills. Genuine relationships. That's the formula. 💚

Tell us something you wish you'd known sooner about riding or maintaining a bike. 🚲

Whether it's a maintenance hack, a gear tip, a route discovery or just the moment you finally figured out how to change a tube without getting it pinched — we want to hear it.

Drop your best tip in the comments 👇 You might save someone a lot of frustration!

Kain's story is one that stays with us. 💚

When Kain first came to the Bike Collective, anxiety had made returning to school feel impossible. Through the program, he found his footing — building skills, forming connections, and slowly rebuilding his confidence.

He returned to school. And then he found work.

That's not a small thing. That's a life changed.

We're incredibly proud of Kain — and of every young person who walks through our doors and decides to back themselves.
