The UNSW Bike Club needs your help!

As you may know, the UNSW Bike Club has been actively seeking a permanent workshop space on campus and now it is crunch time.

Our final proposal is sitting on the desk of the decision maker and we need to make sure he knows how much a permanent bike space will help the UNSW cycling community.

If you have ever been to one of our workshops and been happy with what you learnt or how your bike was fixed, please email Professor Fred Hilmer (vice-chancellor@unsw.edu.au) and Mr Neil Morris (edus@unsw.edu.au) and urge them to support our proposal.

Anything as short as “I support the UNSW Bike Club proposal” to as long a message you feel necessary would be great.

Help support the UNSW Bike Club and help us continue to help you!

You can even learn the Zen of bicycle maintenance.

Free with museum admission ($6 for students); bookings essential.
