Bikes. Riders. Innovation

The bike industry is evolving, and Green Wheels is part of what’s next.

Across Australia, bike stores and riders are working together to reduce waste, improve efficiency, and build a stronger future for cycling. From tyres and tubes to metal, batteries and e-waste, we’re creating practical systems that help keep materials in use and out of landfill.

Green Wheels supports bike stores to take action, and helps riders choose businesses that are committed to doing things better.

Riders Voice

Bike tyres and tubes aren’t currently covered by Australia’s product stewardship framework. Millions reach end of life each year without a clear system in place.

Green Wheels is bringing together riders, bike stores, and industry voices to support better solutions — creating opportunities for innovation, improved systems, and a stronger future for cycling.

Industry News

What’s happening in the industry

Bike tyres and tubes aren’t covered by Australia’s product stewardship framework. Millions end up in landfill every year — with no national system to deal with them. We’re calling for that to change.

Just need a bike for uni without the long-term commitment? International student here for the short-term? We’ve got you covered.

If you buy an affordable bike from Revolve ReCYCLING, we will buy the bike back and give you a refund when you return it after 6 months. (If returned before 6 months it’s treated as if it were for six months)

We refund the original price minus 10% per month of use. For example, for a $500 bike, you get $200 back at 6 months. (We also deduct $30 for a condition check, plus any repair costs.) So, that works out to $50 per month of usage – well cheaper than a rental.

Our re-furbished bikes are branded, high-quality and warrantied. We’ve got hybrids, commuters, mountain bikes and road bikes. They’re perfect for getting to and from campus and beyond. And, they’re all about sustainability.

Drop by our shop in Alexandria or contact our team to learn more details.
