Partner With Us
At Open House we love being able to support the community every Thursday night during the School Term by running the Bike Hut at Malahang Reserve.
Wether it’s helping locals repair their bikes, recycling donated bikes, or our favorite, giving someone access to a bike for the very first time, there is always something going on.
Since reopening the Bike Hut post-lockdown we have been giving away 5-6 bikes per week and repairing up to (and sometimes beyond) 10-bikes as well.
Even during the various lockdowns we were able to support our community by dropping off bikes to those who couldn’t afford them or didn’t have access to one, so people could remain active.
Open House is very proud of being able to help the community and we love doing it through the Bike Hut.
If you are interested in the Bike Hut, why not come down on a Thursday afternoon between 4-5pm during the school term and see it in action.
For more details on the Bike Hut or if you could like to donate a bike please contact Peter Choma directly on (03) 9450 7600 or via email at: pchoma@openhousecic.org.au
