We have some news to share with our community 💚

Our Docklands and Geelong stores will close on Friday, 6 March. After seven amazing years, this has been one of the hardest decisions we've had to make. Several factors, including our capacity to sustain operations and support employment for young people, led us to this point.

A huge shoutout to John Paul, Michael, Byron, Callie and all the Good Bikes crew who made these locations so special. You put your hearts into everything — and it showed.

To our incredible customers: your support means everything. We'll continue serving you at our Goldsbrough Lane C*D store, and we're so looking forward to seeing you there.

Got a booking or membership? We'll be in touch. Or reach us at [email protected] 💌

It's not goodbye — it's see you soon. 🚲💚

Many hands, good work!

Last week the good folk at Riverlee joined our Good Spaces team for a volunteer day at the New Epping site. Along with our CEO Kirra, they donned the high vis and took to the tools, helping with slashing, mowing and other general maintenance we do onsite.

Riverlee have been a valued partner to Good Cycles for over two years, with Good Spaces providing a huge number of outdoor services.

The most important work it offers? It’s a brilliant supporter of our Youth Employment Program, allowing a number of YEP participants to gain invaluable experience - on the tools and off - for a number of different skills.

Find out more in our blog post on our website now!

R U OK Day is a good reminder to check in with your mates, today and any day.

Starting a chat with someone that is struggling can make a difference. If you notice someone isn't themselves, don't wait for them to ask for support. Instead, let them know you're there to talk when they're ready.

The R U OK? website has a range of practical tips on how to start a conversation today and for any day you see someone needing support.

Checking in on someone could make a bigger difference than you know 💛

Hi there Lani! Lani was one of our young people who delivered over 10,000 FOGO parcels to residents earlier this year. FOGO (food and garden organics) helps green waste get recycled properly, keeping our community and environment clean and safe.

A special shout out to Lucas, our Operations Coordinator, who stepped up into the team leader role this year and nailed it!

Learn more about our Good Deliveries team and their terrific FOGO project on our website - new blog post up now. Link in bio!

Today is World Youth Skills Day, a day to celebrate the strategic importance of equipping young people with skills for employment, decent work and entrepreneurship.

At Good Cycles, we know that real jobs and real experience make all the difference. In 2024, we provided 34,578 hours of paid work to 49 young people through our Youth Employment Program, helping them build both technical and transferable skills whilst earning adult award wages.

Our participants face significant barriers – 82% had 2 or more barriers to employment including lack of work experience (65%), mental health challenges (51%), and long-term unemployment (39%).

Yet from the hard work they put into their roles with Good Cycles, we also see some great outcomes:
🔸 100% reported increasing their skills relevant to future employment
🔸 88% maintained employment with Good Cycles for more than 6 months
🔸 83% reported improved peer relationships
🔸 81% reported increased sense of self-confidence

As one of our YEP participants shared: "This is a place where you can feel comfortable learning on the job, where you are expected to make mistakes and gradually improve in your role."

Creating green, inclusive and sustainable jobs isn't just about employment – it's about building confidence, fostering community connection, and empowering young people to reach their full potential.

NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to recognise and be proud of the oldest continuous living culture on earth.

It’s an important opportunity to celebrate the culture, history and achievements of First Nations people while recognising the ongoing impact that colonisation still has to this day.

Do you know what NAIDOC stands for?

On 26 January 1938, while many Australians celebrated the 150th anniversary of the landing of the First Fleet, a group of over 1000 Aboriginal people gathered at Australia Hall in Sydney to call for full citizenship status and laws to improve the lives of First Nations people. As one of the first major civil rights gatherings in the world, this day became known as the Day of Mourning.

Since then, National NAIDOC Week has grown to become both a commemoration of the first Day of Mourning as well as a celebration of the history, culture and excellence of First Nations people. National NAIDOC Week is observed annually from the first Sunday in July until the following Sunday.

Now you know!

We would like to acknowledge that we are a non-Indigenous organisation and we cannot speak for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. As we have done so previously, we are sharing some resources and organisations that we have found useful in our own ongoing education and support:

Sovereignty was never ceded. Australia is and always will be Aboriginal land.

Our CEO Kirra Johnson joined Matt Knopp (Paul Ramsay Foundation) and Renae Lowry (YMCA Rebuild) for a powerful discussion on scaling social enterprises.

Key insights that resonated:
💥 Even high-performing WISEs delivering exceptional employment outcomes for excluded communities struggle to scale when system barriers work against them
💥 The Paul Ramsay Foundation's review of 25 Jobs-Focused Social Enterprises revealed a critical gap: stellar results don't automatically translate to sustainable growth
💥 Staying mission-focused while navigating growth pressures remains one of our sector's biggest challenges

The reality is we're not just building businesses. We're challenging old ways and working to reshape systems that weren't designed to support inclusive employment.

At Good Cycles, these conversations reinforce why our work matters. Breaking employment barriers isn't just about individual success stories; it's about creating systemic change that makes inclusive workforces the norm, not the exception.

Thanks to and for hosting crucial conversations like these. The path forward requires all of us working together to strengthen the foundations that social enterprises need to thrive.
