People on Bicycles is a social enterprise aiming to get more people to ride a bicycle for transport and fostering the love for riding a bike.

We provide a range of services and products, all with the goal of increasing skills and knowledge around the bicycle, it’s use and its upkeep.

Our bike education ranges from basic bicycle riding skills, refreshers, advanced riding in traffic, maintenance knowledge and repairing skills. We train and upskill people of any age and ability in schools, workplaces, local councils, community organisations, and individuals living in the Perth Metro area and regional Western Australia.

Riding a bicycle is a great economical way to get around, improve physical and mental health, and is crucial in lowering our carbon footprint.

As part of our training, we can bring our mobile mechanic team to your venue to check your bicycles before the training or bring bicycles from our extensive fleet suitable for any age to make the training a success.

Our repair services include bicycle assembly, safety checks, comprehensive repairs and full refurbishments.  We pick up your bicycle from home and return it fully serviced back to your door.

School bicycle education

Getting students to ride to school or use a bicycle more often is the goal of our four-week bicycle education program. We visit schools around Perth and wider WA to encourage active transport and foster a love for riding a bike. We provide:

  • Safe riding habits that encourage autonomy and independence
  • A bicycle fleet for those schools where students don’t have access to their own bike
