Brunswick Bicycle Users Group (BrunsBUG) built and maintains the bicycle recycle workshop at CERES. We help you recycle abandoned/donated bicycles, or help you repair your own. Come down and borrow the tools and learn how to repair and service your bike yourself! (For a nominal tool hire charge of $5 an afternoon or free to members, and the cost of parts).

Become a member ($10/5 per year or family rate available) and have unlimited access to bike tools and advice. Parts can be bought. Basic bikes start at $20 and range up to $100.
BrunsBUG runs regular bike maintenance courses.
Bicycle Recycle Shed Opening Times:
Friday and Saturday 11-5.

Getting Involved

Please become involved if you have time and share our vision. There are many possibilities for involvement. BrunsBUG members work on their bikes here. You can too for a small fee, or you can join BrunsBUG and use the shed for free. You might like to join us in putting together bicycles from the second hand parts gathered here. Talk to people here about what you'd like to do or ask for suggestions on ways to participate. This shed is a great place for discussing all manner of bicycle and sustainable transport issues, and taking action on them.

• Donations of bicycles and bicycle gear are welcome during opening times. Please do not leave donations outside.
• You can call CERES office any weekday on 9387 2609 (9am to 4.30pm) to confirm if the shed is currently open. Opening times can  vary. The shed is staffed by volunteers.
• We do not have new parts available here, and some jobs are more suitable for a bike shop. We are not a bike shop!!
• Most bikes are sold for less than $60. Money from the sale of these bikes and from servicing goes into the shed's projects.
