The Ride Revolution Project (formerly Mobilise TI) is a grassroots project dedicated to cultivating the conditions for widespread use of bicycles as a vehicle for climate resilience, economic empowerment and community wellbeing.

why bikes?

Bikes, especially family-friendly ones, are:

free (or incredibly cheap) to run (especially when compared with private cars or taxis);
enable us (and/or our children) to move quickly and efficiently;
easy to maintain and repair;
compact to park and store;
give us an opportunity for low impact exercise and time outdoors;
are quiet and free from pollution
reduce traffic and parking issues;
can be a fun and enjoyable way to move;
offer independence and flexibility;
promote a sense of community;
have a lower carbon footprint;
use the existing paths/roads;
can be customised to fit personal or family needs e.g. seating multiple children/infants, transport elders or those with a disability, carry cargo, etc.
can be safely ridden by children, as an independent travel option.

I live on TI or surrounding inner islands, and do not have a bike but would like one...

1. complete this application and we will be in contact if we are donated a bike within the community that is suitable to you (or your family member) these bikes are refurbished and/or repaired and usually cost between $100 and $300; or we will let you know if we organise another bulk bike buy (both options are subject to availability and priority criteria). Please note, we are not currently planning a bulk bike buy.

2. when you next travel to the mainland, plan to bring a bike back in a box on your return flight. This should be free if the box is your only checked item, or around $65 if it is a second item. Contact Qantas first to confirm. We recommend purchasing a bicycle from a bike shop, such as Giant Cairns or My Ride or buying second hand on Facebook Marketplace. Good brands include: Trek, Merida, Giant, Specialized, BYK (kids only). You will need to get a secondhand cardboard box from a bike shop to pack it for your return flight.

We do not recommend buying a bicycle from Kmart, Target, Big W or any other big box store. Even if you are purchasing a child's bike, and think it will only be used for a short time - remember better quality bikes can be passed on to other children and families, whereas lower quality ones will often be unrepairable after the first year (or less!).
