“My name is Cara Archer, a volunteer and committee member of Adelaide Bike Kitchen. My first experience of ABK was as a student, needing a new

• bike. Walking into the Bike Kitchen knowing nothing about bikes; I walked
• ut not only with a bike that I had managed to fix up thanks to volunteers,

but also a connection to an amazing community of people, only too willing to share their knowledge and love for bikes. I’d caught the bike bug, going on to become a volunteer and share this new skill and passion with others. Now with your help, we have the opportunity to spread this amazing bike experience even further.”
