Bower Bikes

Last weekend’s birthday celebration was a huge success! We want to send out a big thank you to everyone in our community for showing up, from those who set up stalls at our swap meet, bought raffle tickets or snags, and those who stuck around to just hang out and listen to some music! We also want to shout out our amazing volunteers, who showed up to help organise and run the event, as well as keep the shop going amongst the chaos, and to the green living centre who let us overflow into their amazing community garden. We’re feeling very grateful for everyone involved! Got ideas for next year? Let us know, we can’t wait! Amazing 📸 by 𝔤𝔞𝔫𝔲 💙🚲

📢 LIVE MUSIC ANNOUNCEMENT! Super keen to have local band lessunlessunlessunlessunlessunlessunlessunlessunlesslessunless followed by out of this world Doctor Robot this Saturday to celebrate our 2nd birthday! We can’t wait to see you there 💙🚲

So you heard about our birthday celebration, and you’re thinking you should get together with some mates and set up a table at our swap meet! Or maybe you make bike bags, or patches, or zines? Register for a stall and bring what you’ve got! Swap items or take cash 💸. Hit the link in the bio to register 🎉🚲

Bower Bikes teamed up with Bayside Council on Clean Up Australia Day, to keep both our streets and our bikes running smoothly.

We ran a free check & tune to help locals get their bikes road‑ready, safe, and feeling good — because a well‑loved bike is more likely to be ridden, not dumped

Huge shout‑out to our superstar mechanics Oli and Billy, who spent the day adjusting gears, fixing brakes, answering questions, and spreading bike love like pros.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by, got their bike checked, and helped make sustainable transport easier (and more fun). This is what community-powered repair looks like.

We made a very weird bike for the Omafiets Weird Bike Ride. Built from spare parts, bad ideas, and pure curiosity, it was awkward, impractical, and absolutely perfect. We’ve got plenty more weird ideas for the next .
