One of the many things we’re really proud of is our bike shop – Wheelie Awesome.

Our bikes provide us with a sense of freedom and independence and we’re passionate about keeping bikes out on the road and making cycling accessible to all.

Wheelie Awesome is a program dedicated to the training and development of young people with disabilities. Through their work in our bike shop, our students develop skills in both bike maintenance and retail and build on their social and personal skills in their everyday interactions with our customers. It’s part of our hands-on vocational training and gives our students a unique insight into the world of work.

Yesterday, I was so thrilled when two of our graduate students at EdSpace managed the bike repair shop for the day. They handled all sales and completely managed the shop.

How we do it?

We take donations of old bikes and our students use their newly developed skills to breathe new life into them. We then sell them on to local people from our shop or donate them to indigenous communities in need.

Furthermore, we’re a shop with a social conscious open to all locals for bike repairs. We fix everything from faulty brakes and handlebars all the way through to the full assembly of brand-new bikes- you name it, we do it.
