We want everyone, especially more women, mothers, caregivers and kids, to have an option to get around for free, through access to high quality bicycles.
With a deliberate grass-roots effort to cultivate a bicycle ecosystem that relies less on imports, fewer people will be dependent on private cars and paid lifts to get around, and more people will have the freedom of mobility.
To do this, we need:
- more affordable high quality bikes for kids and families;
- to properly set up a community bike hospital - with a space and tools and parts to share;
- local repair training for First Nations youth.
Ultimately, this campaign is about improving mobility resilience in the Torres Strait.
Buying Mobilise T.I. a ride revolution helps to progress this initiative.
All proceeds will contribute to:
> getting more high quality bikes up to and working in the Torres Strait;
> purchasing accessories, such as those that enable mothers and caregivers to carry their children and cargo (e.g. baby seats, bike racks and baskets).
> purchasing the necessary equipment, tools, parts, consumables or other items - to set up and stock our community Bike Hospital and support our Free Bike Exchange; and
> enabling training and support for local person(s) to obtain professional skills in bike maintenance and repair.
Please note these projects may change over time to fit the overall objective of improving access to accessible, affordable and sustainable transport options in the Torres Strait / Zenadth Kes.
