Those who live or work near Manuka may have noticed a new bike shop which recently opened its doors at Shop 5, 1 Franklin Street (just opposite Coles).
For The Love of Bikes is a DIY bike repair shop that employs and empowers those in need, training them in bike mechanics and other skills. They also have bikes they’ve repaired and restored for sale at the front of the shop which I’m told are going like hotcakes! This 100 per cent not for profit is holding a raffle to support the work as they go into the colder months. Check it out here https://www.fortheloveofbikes.com.au/raffle.
