Chain Lynx

We are a volunteer-run bicycle workshop for women and trans people of all genders. Every Tuesday of the month, 6-9pm @ Sydney Park Cycling Centre.

Beginners welcome! Providing a safe space for any women, grrls, trans*, and/or queer folk to come together to work on their bike, gain skills and confidence. And just general friendly social hangs, vegan baked goods are always welcome ;)

Please keep this space positive and respectful to everyone

Tuesday night of the month:

6pm til about 9ish

Chain Lynx is a project of Bicycle Garden. Suggested donation is $5/hr, but nobody will be turned away for lack of funds. "The Bicycle Garden is a volunteer-run organisation that provides welcoming and vibrant spaces in the community where any person can learn to build, maintain and repair bicycles. We work to nurture ecological sustainability and personal well-being by promoting the bicycle as a fun, safe and accessible form of transportation." www.bicyclegarden.com

Monetary donations are always welcome in exchange for the use of tools/space and donated parts. We do not require money though unless you are purchasing new parts at cost. All money donated goes towards the purchase of more tools and items for others. If space allows we can accept parts, tools and sometimes bikes in usable/repairable condition. Please contact us before bringing things down to be donated. We always welcome anyone interested in being a volunteer that would like to help out, either to repair donated bikes or to help others with fixing. Chances are if you have a skill to share we wold love to have you. Get in touch if you have an idea! Bicycle Garden is Supported by City of Sydney

Did you know Bicycle Garden is 100% volunteer powered? Despite the extended lockdown, volunteers are still working hard, in safe way of course, to repair and deliver bikes to the people in need including health care workers, refugees, and low income folks.

At our last meeting, some volunteers shared that they had sought out the biggest hill in their 5km area to race up and down to keep up their cycling fitness. Others are just enjoying the significantly less cars on the roads. It's been glorious weather out, so we hope your enjoying the pleasures of cycling more than ever now, whatever that looks like for you!
