Mission: Let’s deliver 1000 top quality bikes to children in need across Australia.
Every Kid Deserves the Joy of Riding a Bike.
UPDATE 30 June: We're past the halfway point! That's 500 bikes we can deliver for kids who have never felt the joy of riding a bike!
Help us hit $48,000 by midnight tonight (end of financial year) so we can collect, restore and deliver 600 bikes for kids!
Imagine the thrill of a child pedalling their first bike and the endless adventures waiting to unfold. Yet, for many kids across Australia owning a bike is out of reach.
Meanwhile, countless bikes sit forgotten in sheds, abandoned on streets, or tossed into landfills. Together, we can change that.
"We can give these bikes a second life, keep them out of landfills, and gift them to kids who will truly cherish them." – José, Volunteer Mechanic, Bikes for Kids.
Why This Campaign Matters
This campaign is about more than just bikes – it's about empowerment, connection, and opportunity. A bike can teach children essential skills like balance, spatial awareness, and responsibility. It's a tool for healthy exercise, a fun way to get to school, and a catalyst for friendships and community.
Bike riding is an excellent way to improve children's physical health and abilities, including balance, muscle strength, and coordination skills.
Bike riding provides a practical, cheap form of transport to get to school each day. It helps improve school attendance in disadvantaged areas.
Bike riding provides children with a sense of freedom and independence that they may not experience in other areas of life. It provides social connection for children who feel isolated or don’t fit in. Bike riding provides a real boost to mental health and wellbeing. For kids, a bike is freedom, fun & enjoyment!
Who we are
The Revolve Recycling Foundation is a registered tax-deductible charity affiliated with our social enterprise, Revolve Recycling. Our mission is clear and ambitious: to deliver 1,000 bikes to 1,000 kids in need every year, creating opportunities and joy for children across Australia.
Based in Alexandria, NSW, Revolve Recycling is dedicated to sustainability and second chances. We’ve already diverted over 11,000 bikes from landfill, giving them new life through recycling, redeployment, or donation to those who need them most.
At the heart of our work is the belief that every bike deserves a rider and every child deserves the joy of riding. By restoring and redistributing these bikes, we’re not just reducing waste—we’re building healthier, happier, and more connected communities.your text here
Who We’re Working With
This campaign is powered by incredible partnerships with organisations committed to making a difference in their communities. Together, we’re creating meaningful change:
Bikes Mwerre, a community run bike riding and education program that works with First Nations young people in towns and remote communities across Central Australia and the Top End. Bikes Mwerre was founded by Tyrone Lankin, an Arrernte man, known locally as "Dowie", who had a simple but powerful vision: create safe, positive places where children can ride, learn, build confidence, develop practical skills, and experience the sense of freedom, belonging and joy that bikes can provide—without facing the discrimination he experienced growing up.
Western Sydney Migrant Resource Centre. Led by their inspiring CEO, Maeve Brown, this organisation helps migrant and refugee families build brighter futures. Maeve shares: "Western Sydney Migrant Resource Centre is excited to be partnering with Revolve ReCYCLING to improve access to bicycles for migrant and refugee children and young people living in South West Sydney.
Many of the families we support are struggling with the rising cost of living and are regularly making decisions about how they are going to feed their family, pay rent, cover school fees, or pay medical bills. Purchasing a bike for their child for recreation, fitness, or for transport is often just not an option.
We look forward to being able to work with Revolve ReCYCLING in their support of bike equity and the circular economy."
Daceyville Public School Nathan Brown, Vice President of Daceyville Public School says "I am pleased to express our appreciation for our partnership with Revolve ReCYCLING. This collaboration has been pivotal in advancing our school's dedication to environmental sustainability, recycling, and upcycling—values that are integral to our ethos and project-based learning initiatives.
Revolve ReCYCLING has played a crucial role in establishing and supporting our bike library and conducting classes on bike maintenance and safe riding practices. These programs not only promote sustainable transportation but al...
