Kia ora RAD whānau!

We’ve got big news — RAD’s on the move!

Before we relocate, we’re running a Stock Clearance Fundraiser to help lighten the load & raise funds for our next chapter.

Here's what we're now offering at all RAD sessions until 10th Nov...
Gold coin koha for wheels & small parts, $10–$20 koha for selected frames & unfixed bikes, make an offer on any yellow tagged items.

We'd also love your help spread the word via our posts on Facebook and Instagram. Every post shared, stock rehomed and koha given helps RAD into our new space and keeps our community rolling.

So now’s the time to grab RAD gems, help save stuff from scrap, and support RAD to keep people rolling and reusing bikes across Ōtautahi :)

Huge mihi to our RAD supporters!

We’re still looking for a permanent home!

R.A.D’s current space has been a huge success! It’s proven to ourselves and others what the massive difference a great setup can make for our organisation, and our ability to deliver our core kaupapa.

But with the stadium progressing, our time here is now up.

So we're currently working through options for our next space, and hopefully finding a permanent home! But if you know any other properties, supporters or collaborators we should also approach, please email us at admin@radbikes.co.nz. Here’s what we’re looking for.

Thanks RAD whanau, together we can achieve our ultimate RADness!
