Pedal Power Bike Library
Borrow a bike.
Change how you move.
Borrow a refurbished, safety-checked bike for up to six months, making it easier to ride, explore and get where you need to go.
A bike when you need one
Like a regular library, only with bikes.
The Pedal Power Bike Library gives adults and children who do not currently have access to a bike a practical way to get riding. Every bike is refurbished and safety-checked by our volunteer mechanics before it heads out into the community.
Simple, circular, community-powered

Why it matters
A simple idea with a big community impact.
A bike can mean independence, confidence, connection and an affordable way to travel. By keeping donated bikes in use, the Bike Library also reduces waste and helps build a more sustainable Canberra.
