Summary
Christchurch’s Aranui Bike Fixup just smashed its record, handing out 170 bikes this year—thanks to soaring gas prices and rising living costs pushing more people to pedal instead of drive. Even winter riders are showing up, boosting health and savings. Run by 10 volunteers every Thursday, this six-year-old workshop turns donated bikes into affordable rides for all ages, including students and seniors. A recent flood of 75 bike light sets? Huge for night riders, especially those commuting to work or school. Demand’s so high they emptied storage containers in two months—and they’re always hunting for more donations. Next month? They’re teaching folks how to build their own wooden bike trailer. Cycling’s not just a trend—it’s a necessity, and this community is riding to the rescue.
