25.01.2022 We just got back from launching the SA Healthy Towns Challenge with Ceduna Youth Hub.

Thanks for having us and look forward to coming back over in January!

24.01.2022 Thanks Mimili! Bikes Palya (Bikesa), in partnership with NPY Women's Council, is currently delivering school holiday programs in the APY Lands. We had a blast in Mimili and can't wait to head to Pukatja today. Palya!

24.01.2022 Bikes Palya sent out 4 awesome new puncture proof BMX's today - prizes the winning schools of our "Be Healthy Challenge" to be shared between Amata Anangu School and Kenmore Park Anangu School. Joey rated them 5/5! Students from Fregon Anangu School, Amata, and Indulkana Anangu School with outstanding participation also get a bike, helmet and lock to keep. Keep riding legends!

16.01.2022 Look! No hands! We have all been impacted by COVID-19 over the past months, none more so than First Nations mob living in remote communities. Restrictions put in place for health reasons have limited access to key services for the youth in the APY Lands. So, we have been working hard at Bikes Palya to design resources to keep youth connected to bikes and all the awesome benefits that stem from such access. To deliver these by the next school holidays in July, we need your h...elp! All donations are tax deductible and will help provide the tools, equipment and virtual support for Bike Palya to deliver our service from afar. Our intention is to see kids on the Lands back on bikes and having some much needed fun. Please click the link below to donate. If you arent in the position to do so, please share. Palya! https://www.bikesa.asn.au/bikes-palya/

At each community we will be connecting with schools, running lessons based on Zibeon Fieldings epic ride across the lands, talking about health and wellbeing, practicing skill activities on the bikes and running a community bike clinic and bike race after school. We are pumped! ... Toby and Nat

03.01.2022 Bikes Palya sent some bikes out to Amata earlier this week! Even a flat battery couldn't stop us from getting to the depot (although it did involve some very close parking to give a jump-start). Due to COVID-19, Bikes Palya will not be delivering school holiday programs in April to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone involved. We are thinking of everyone in community and beyond. Stay safe you mob!
