Overview
Sydney's resurgence of all things bike-related (including a new fashion trend) has translated into a thriving Sydney cycle culture, with shops, websites and clubs popping up wherever you like. One such club that has piqued our interest is the Cycle Re-Cycle Club, or the The Nunnery Bike Workshop.
This club is made up of a conglomerate of bike-enthusiasts that want to spread the love far and wide. They meet twice a week (Monday and Wednesday from 5-9pm) at a car park in Waterloo,where they help you make a working bike or repair/modify the one you've got, thanks to donations from the community of pre-loved or abandoned bikes and parts. Volunteers teach others the basics of how to maintain their vehicles, free of charge - all they ask is for you to share your knowledge of what you've learnt.
Who knows, maybe one day Sydney will be just like Amsterdam (where your bike is pretty much like another body part, not owning one is like not having a left arm), without the canals to throw an unlocked bike into.
