25.01.2022 THANK YOU... to ALL of these great humans, brands and organisations that have helped us through 2020. We couldn’t have achieved all that we have without your love and support. Here’s to turning those wheels onwards and upwards for 2021

24.01.2022 Hey guys! We'll be hitting the road later this month for Get Stoked! Balaklava. Make sure you come along and see us at Balaklava Skate Park! We'll have demo's running, a chance to win some great prizes with bikes and helmets provided. Hope to see you all there! Thanks to Wakefield Regional Council for hosting this great initiative as part of South Australian Youth Week! #getstoked #mentoringthroughbikes #lighthouseyouthprojects #sayouthweek

22.01.2022 A week from today we will be teaming up with the City Of Charles Sturt and the City of Port Adelaide Enfield to hold a BIKE DRIVE as part of National Recycling Week! If you have a bike that might not get used as much as you'd like or you just need an excuse to clear those old bikes out the shed, then we'd love your donations! You'll find us at 2 Toogood Ave, Beverley next Friday & Saturday (13 & 14 November), 8am - 4pm. We'd love to see you there!... #getstoked #lighthouseyouthprojects #nationalrecyclingweek

21.01.2022 AH-MAZING! Thank you so much to everyone who donated bikes over the last few days! We’ll be busy in the workshop wrenching and recycling for some time! And big love in advance for all the smiles you’re going to create giving some very lucky young people a new set of wheels. Recycling feels PRETTY GOOD right now Thanks to @charlessturtsa & @cityofpae for partnering with us for this fantastic initiative. What a great way to get the community to come together ... #getstoked #reducereuserecycle #mentoringthroughbikes

21.01.2022 Balaklava you rock! A huge thanks to everyone who came to #bikeparty with us yesterday. As you can see from our group photo, the turnout was MASSIVE! So many smiles, stunts and good times were had and we are so pleased we could be a part of them! Thank you to Holly and the whole team at Wakefield Regional Council for hosting us and to the Local Lions team, youth group and DJ Holzy for the food, drinks and good tunes. Head to our website for an event wrap up and more photos. https://lighthouseyp.org/balaklava-goes-wild/ We hope to see you all again soon but in the meantime.... GO RIDE YOUR BIKE! #getstoked #mentoringthroughbikes #lighthouseyouthprojects #bikeparty #roadtrip #bmx #regionalyouthmatter

20.01.2022 Thanks guys! What a great initiative too, well done!!

20.01.2022 It’s been a big couple of weeks for the RiDE crew with only ONE MORE WEEK TO GO! We’ve explored employment opportunities in the McLaren Vale area and shredded trails at Lynton and Women’s Pioneer! With our last week coming up we’re excited to see what the futures got planned for these guys! ... #getstoked #ride #masexperience #mentoringthroughbikes #sendit

18.01.2022 Remember that sweet garage sale we had a while back? Well, all those bikes you guys bought provided the funds to purchase these two excellent rigs for use in our programs.... not the handsome fellows in front but the primo @norcobikesaus Storms in back. Big shoutout to @bicycleexpress and @norcobikesaus for sourcing us some bikes at such a busy time of year! We really do get so stoked on sharing how all this gets put to good use!... #getstoked #memtoringthroughbikes #lighthouseyouthprojects #reusereducerecycle #lypbicyclerehomingprogram See more

15.01.2022 We’re sad to announce that due to the recent COVID outbreak tomorrow’s GET STOKED! Youth Event is cancelled. We’ll do our best to get back to you guys AS SOON AS WE CAN! Look after yourselves and stay healthy! Thanks again for all the work Wakefield Regional Council did putting this event together. Hopefully we’ll see you all real soon.

15.01.2022 What a day guys! We’re so full of love for all the bikes that you have donated as part of the Bike Drive! We’ll be back at it tomorrow from 8am at 2-6 Toogood Ave, Beverly so if you want to help us fill that container to the brim come awn down!!!! #getstoked #reducereuserecycle #mentoringthroughbikes

13.01.2022 NEW BIKE DAY FTW! Thank you to EVERYONE who came down to @dailygrind.southaus to support our Garage Sale and snaffle some new wheels yesterday! The funds raised will create even more opportunities for at-risk youth! Nothing makes us happier though than knowing these bikes are going to great homes. A huge thank you to @dailygrind.southaus & @littleblackbike for hosting us, we had a blast setting up shop on the ramp! And last but not least, thank you to everyone who donated bikes in our bike drive last year, we couldn’t have done what we did without you. We look forward to bringing you more bike drives & garage sales later in 2021 and beyond! #bigwheelskeeponturning #lighthouseyouthprojects #mentoringthroughbikes #garagesale

13.01.2022 Which way is up? Things have felt a bit weird in SA this week but the RiDE crew got stuck in, learnt some new barista skills and got a good dose of vitamin D #getstoked #positivevibesonly #mentoringthroughbikes #masexpereience #ride #lighthouseyouthprojects

13.01.2022 A roll past the vines to ride those troubles away. Times are tricky again here in ADL but some sun, fresh air and turning the legs over is a very welcome reprieve #getstoked #ride #masexpereience #lighthouseyouthprojects #mentoringthroughbikes

11.01.2022 Beach vibes for the RiDE crew Moana bike path making for a great way to explore riding options down south! #getstoked #ride #beachvibes #masexperience #mentoringthroughbikes #lighthouseyouthprojects

11.01.2022 And that’s a wrap for RiDE TAS! Balmy temps made for great times visiting some rad street art and the Cornelian Bay locals. Well done to our participants, everyone from Mas and our legendary mentors Hunners & Jayde. Riding bikes and getting jobs aren’t an easy game but these guys have put in and done so well! Wishing them all the best for the next chapter!! #getstoked #mentoringthroughbikes #ride #tasmania

08.01.2022 WE OUT! | We’ve put our phones down for a little while and will be taking a much-needed break over the festive season. We’ll be back on deck on Wednesday 13 January, 2021. Sending you all the best for a safe holiday season, here’s hoping there’s space to turn the pedals over and spend time with the ones you care about most! #getstoked #stayrad #seeya2020 #lighthouseyouthprojects #mentoringthroughbikes

04.01.2022 We’ve got a little wrap up on #getstokedportpirie over on zee website, if you’d like to read a little more about the day and see more sweet photos like this hit the link below https://lighthouseyp.org/smiles-for-miles-at-port-pirie/ These events don’t happen by themselves so we would like to extend a huge thanks to Lisa from USG Employment, Debbie from the Port Pirie LDAT arm, Leo from Youth Port Pirie and everyone who helped by donating their time (or Golden North Icecrea...m). A special mention goes to Mayor Leon Stephens who came along to see what all the fuss is about and see his community come together all with the power of bikes. Hopefully see you guys again real soon!! #getstoked #getstokedportpirie #visitportpirie #mentoringthroughbikes

04.01.2022 Who’s keen for some good news? Don’t know about you guys but we sure are! Tomorrow (Fri 20/11) you’ll be able to listen to our Co-Founder Jamie chat with Sonja Feldhoff on @abcadelaide Afternoons about our recent Bike Drive. Tune that dial to 891AM (or channel 25 on your TV) between 1 and 3pm to hear Jay share some amazing stories of generosity and how we are going to put all these wheels to good use #goodnews #beatthockdownblues #lighthouseyouthprojects #mentoringthroughbikes #getstoked

03.01.2022 YOU DID IT!!! You amazing humans raised $10,000 and YOU will help change the lives of youth that are in great need. Your generosity have left us humbled and we are so lucky to have you all on our side! Thank you for liking, sharing and donating, it means the world to us!! YOU have helped #bringthebalance for 2021 In coming days we’ll share what the next steps are from here, but for now we are going to bask in those warm fuzzy feels that you get from knowing a bunch of people want to make the world a better place

02.01.2022 And that’s RiDE all done and dusted for another year! Congratulations to everyone We’ve seen huge personal growth from these guys, excellent employment outcomes and some rad skill improvement on the bikes. Can’t really beat winding things up in leafy Belair National Park either!! Thanks to everyone at Mas National and all our hard working mentors too ... #getstoked #ride #masnational #outsideisrad #mentoringthroughbikes See more

02.01.2022 And we’re back... back on two wheels and feeling lucky to be able to deliver our programs (in the safest way possible). Here’s to keeping things rolling and closing out 2020 with a solid wheelie and a smile #ride #getstoked #mentoringthroughbikes #lighthouseyouthprojects #masexperience
