Our 2023 Bike and Scooter Muster saw over 200 wheelie items rounded up. So many we could barely fit them all in our storage facility!
The Pit Stop crew, students and volunteers have all been working hard to get these bikes and scooters restored and refurbished and Lighthouse staff have been busy delivering the 200+ wheelie items to their new home for a second spin!
A bike or scooter can provide independence, transport, exercise and the fun that comes with being out and about. Additionally the young people who work on the donated items at our Pit Stop program have the opportunity to learn a new skill and experience the joy of giving back to community.
We are delighted to say our Bike and Scooter Muster has been a huge success and we thank community members who have donated the bikes along with everyone involved in the restoration process. A big thanks goes to Southern Cross Austereo for their assistance with the Bike and Scooter Muster campaign. Thanks also to My Ride and Leading Edge for providing drop-off points for those donating bikes.
