Great place, got a great bike from this place! Can’t recommend Andrew and the guys enough
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.
THE best place around to learn how to fix your bike! The volunteers are very very knowledgeable, approachable and awesome. I highly recommend getting there by 11am as it can get crowded on weekends. But all up an incredibly satisfying. illuminating and brilliant learning experience. I wish I could give more stars as it's a great example of community helping, learning and teaching.
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.
I went here with a friend to fix some issues we were having with our bikes: she needed to put new brake pads on her bike and I wanted to remove mud guards and adjust my brakes. When we arrived it was clearly very busy and all of the volunteers were occupied helping people. Luckily there was a sign that said to speak to the manager so, asking around, we managed to find Duncan. Duncan was extremely helpful and patient. He let us know that it may take a while until someone could help us as they were quite busy. In the end end we only waited about 10 minutes, if that, until Duncan came and helped us. I can see why some people have expressed disappointment with the service they received. We did notice one volunteer who was particularly friendly but not very helpful. However, I think it is unfair to expect a professional level of service from a place that is fully staffed by volunteers and receiving as many clients as this place does. I found the experience enriching. I got to know my local community better, in a lovely setting and not only did I fix the issues I had with my bike, I also learnt a tonne about my bike in the process.
One of my favourite places in Melbourne. All the tools and parts you need to fix your bike, and people who''ll show you how to use them. It gets busy in the afternoon and you might have to wait a while if you need a volunteer to help you, first thing in the morning is probably a better bet if you need help.
In short, Pros : Friendly and helpful staff Affordable bikes and parts Wide range of tools available Cons : Might not have all parts that cater to your liking I visited the place for the first time and had a great time with both my friends and the volunteers. The bikes they collected are second hand bikes, but they are all still pretty good and can shine again with some fixes. While there are a lot of bicycle parts, don't expect to find everything you want as they are mostly common spare parts. Given that, the parts are really affordable. The volunteers will try their best to jump around between everyone and help you, but due to the ratio between volunteers available and visitors, you should understand that you have to work independently at times.
Don't expect shop level customer service, because everyone is a volunteer. But I wouldn't go anywhere else to fix /maintain/upgrade my bike. Loads of tools, salvaged parts and expert guidance at an almost comically low price
Great community initiative, having volunteers with bike knowledge help people fix their bikes for a small donation to the club. They have heaps of old bikes, bike parts and tools, so good place to come for that. Just its completely chaotic, especially saturdays, so be prepared for a little mayhem. Just when I came along a loose chain on my mountain bike, a volunteer sent me away on 45mins return trip to buy an extra link at a bike shop. When I came back to put it on, they then said it wasn't necessary and just cut the chain. And then the volunteer said "woops, sorry I made a mistake and the chain is now too short. Sorry". And that was that. So, again great community initiative, but if you're not sure, just leave it! Dont do something you're not sure about - that was a $80 chain! I did sort it out myself later and no major damage in the end, but that shook me a little. So on that note, best just bring old bangers here, just for people who want an old bike done up to ride around the area. Defintley dont bring a bike thats worth any amount of money. Other than that, keep up the good work guys.
This place rocks my socks off, they've become my adopted family. I now volunteer here and get out of it more than I put in which is always a nice surprise. Keep up the good work peeps!
