Bikes Palya Has Become On Country

BikeSA’s On Country program brings bike education to the most remote communities in South Australia. Through road safety programs and recreational activities, the program supports young people in disadvantaged and regional areas by providing access to bikes and skills. A pathway to increased active travel, physical activity, and overall wellbeing.

Bikes Palya helps kids in the community by fixing their bikes. It’s a really great program, enabling kids to learn how to fix and maintain their bikes along the way.

My child was able to ride and be a part of the program as Bikes Palya provided a modified bike to support him as he has a disability. He was over the moon to be able to be involved.
