RAD Bikes (Recycle A Dunger) is a not-for-profit community bike shed in central Christchurch. It is a workshop space where anyone can build or repair a bicycle for themselves and/or help restore bikes to give away. We provide bikes, tools, parts and technical guidance within a workshop where all are welcome to share their time, skills and ideas. RAD Bikes began as a Gap Filler project in 2013 to t

est the idea of cycle recycling and assisted DIY repairs. As of March, 2015 it has been its own, free-standing organisation, the RAD Bikes Charitable Trust.

💛 A little RAD community reminder 💛

RAD is all about kindness, inclusion, community, and helping people keep rolling 🚲 We’re proud to be a welcoming space for so many awesome humans.

But lately, our lovely neighbours have been dealing with people knocking on doors, making requests, or hanging around outside of RAD’s open hours. That’s not fair on them, and it risks creating issues that could impact RAD’s ability to keep doing what we do.

So a gentle but important ask: please only visit RAD during our open hours, and please respect our neighbours’ businesses, space and time.

We work hard to keep RAD a safe, fun and welcoming place for everyone. That means people are only welcome to join our space when they’re in an appropriate state to do so too — kind, respectful, and lucid — so everyone can feel safe and enjoy being here.

The huge majority of our community absolutely nails this, and we’re so grateful 💚 Let’s all help protect the RAD kaupapa and the welcoming community we’ve built, so we can keep serving the 99% of legends who make this place so special.

Thanks for helping keep RAD safe, fun, and full of good vibes ✨
