At the present time our website is under construction.
Australian Goodwill Bicycles Abroad Incorporated is a not-for-profit association. The Australian public donates the bicycles. They are examined for safety, oiled, partly dismantled and stored before being loaded into containers and shipped to established partners in developing countries and within Australia.
The recipients in turn, receive and then distribute bicycles to those in need and run bicycle mechanic workshops in the community to create sustainabilty.
There are many ways that a bicycle can assist a developing community and country.
People have few options to dispose of unwanted bicycles. Most charitable organisations will not take bicycles due to new OHS laws and the general Australian population choosing to buy new budget priced bicycles. In our experience, people are pleased to see their bicycle going to a good cause, rather than being turned into scrap metal or sent for landfill. The comment we regularly receive is “We did not want to just throw the bicycle away when someone else can put it to good use.”
If you would like to donate a bicycle to be redistributed, send Mark an email.
