The Bike Shed at CERES

“I am visiting Melbourne for about 5 weeks and decided to pick up an el cheapo bike to get around occasionally. Picked up one locally on Marketplace but I soon realised it needed work…and all my tools are back in Newcastle . “The Bike Shed” came to the rescue. Andrew and Serge were were extremely friendly and helpful and soon helped me get my cheap bike into a decent shape for minimal cost. This is a great community service.”

“Me and my partnet attended a "fix your own bike" session. Dan (the volenteer expert) was fantastic! They helped and showed us a huge number of quick and easy fixes for our bikes (all parts were available on location)! Super great afternoon! Would recomend!”

“I was in town for just a quick two weeks around Christmas and my old bike that I love dearly needed some serioussss tlc. I really wanted to ride it during my quick visit at home and it looked like a lost cause, but then and a very nice man, I believe named Andrew, helped fix it up for me 💛. It brought me so much joy getting to ride my bike while in town. Thank you so much for taking the time to help and share your bike knowledge with me, it meant so much!”

“Great selection of bikes for super cheap. It gets pretty busy here and there are only so many volunteers, so try to go at a good time or be patient and remember everyone here is literally volunteering there time. It's ran very well; Duncan and all the volunteers are incredibly helpful. Got an insanely good deal on an absolutely amazing bike. Thefts aren't uncommon, so be mindful of your bike.”

“Great place. Lots of unique communal tools for older bikes--some that many bike shops won't have. Super friendly volunteers who will show you how things work. It's not a free bike service, but a learn how to fix it yourself. It brings together a nice community of like minded people and has a great vibe. I will definitely be coming back.”
