Once again, we’re wildly grateful to CCC Sustainability Fund for helping to strengthen our “Find a Bike” service! Their support enables us to make more bikes more accessible to those most in need, plus collaborate more with social services to achieve more RAD impacts.

Congrats Bike Bridge!

Shout out to our BB wāhine for another successful season, empowering 82 women from 25 ethnicities to connect and ride, enabled by their whooping 456 volunteer hours! Watch this space, they have plans to expand next season.

Thanks to our Supporters!

A snippet of the regular goodness happening at RAD…

Hōhepa Helpers @ RAD

“I just wanted to say a big thank you for giving Kieran the opportunity to help out and to learn some skills in the RAD workshop…Diego did a fantastic job of working with Kieran and showing him the ropes. Kieran had a wonderful time and told me that he is really keen to head back!” Aaron Randall, Hōhepa Staff

Huge mihi to our RAD supporters!

Help keep RAD rolling!

We proud to share that last year RAD helped 2,070+ people, powered 4,100+ volunteer hours, delivered 700+ hours of community education, and recycled 8,900+ bikes and parts. Huge mihi to our volunteer legends, you are literally the grease that keep our wheels turning 💚

But demand for RAD’s services keeps growing, both on the ground and from various communities, schools and social services providers. There’s still plenty of unmet need, so we’d love to find more support to keep growing our RAD crew, services and impacts.

So if you, your workplace, or organisation are keen to make a tangible difference during these crazy ‘crisis’ times, we’d love to chat! Donations, regular giving, or partnerships - big or small, it all helps keep RAD rolling. Keen to support our kaupapa? Email: admin@radbikes.co.nz!

Ngā mihi nui whanau, together we can achieve our ultimate RADness.
