● 31010 kilograms of material diverted from landfill

● 39648 kilograms of CO2 avoided through bike reuse

● 2215 bicycles recycled

● 413 bicycles redeployed

● 3 roles created for people of disadvantage

● 70 bicycles donated to kids’ charities

BENEFICIAL BIKES

Revolve ReCYCLING strongly believes that bikes and personal mobility can help communities become fairer and happier places. It’s why we’re committed to what we call “bike equity” through our actions:

● Donating all salvageable kids’ bikes to charitable causes, including a collaboration with AusCycling to provide a “bike library” for disadvantaged kids in Maitland and soon elsewhere

● Providing free bikes and scooters to refugee kids, recently including 12 kids from war-torn Ukraine

● Partnering with Benevolent Society to donate kids bikes to children of families who struggle financially

● Partnering with Bikes 4 Life, a charity which gets quality bikes to impoverished families here and overseas (where they can make a massive economic difference)

THE US AND THEM OF AFFORDABLE BIKES

A redeployed bike from Revolve ReCYCLING is a bike that didn’t get wasted and did help create employment opportunity.

But it’s also a really smart purchase. We price our bikes to be affordable and competitive to those you might buy from a big general retailer in a shopping mall or on-line. Here’s how our bikes compare:

THE RULE OF ONE

Riders are very much human - no two are alike and each has specific needs. It’s the Rule of One and we follow it at Revolve ReCYCLING by making sure our customers have the right bike and are supported.

This is Ian. His health team recommended a low impact exercise like cycling to help rehab his legs. He found us on-line and we chatted about what’s best for him. Eg, together we picked out this cool Specialized hybrid bike for exercise riding near his retirement village. Then, Ian reached out to Anglicare and they helped organise the purchase of the bike through his NDIS support package.

We delivered the bike to his residence and helped:

● make sure the size and seat height were right;

● fitted safety lights that he’d bought;

● adjusted his new helmet;

● explained the gear system;

● pumped his tyres to the right pressure, and;

● had a great chat!

Ian’s a keen guitarist and lights up the get-togethers at the retirement village with his jazz musings. A cool guy with a cool, safe, and branded bike for less than the ones at the big shopping mall retailers.
