Bike Club: Where Old Wheels Get a Second Life

Where broken bikes get a second life and young hands learn a real craft. Welcome to the Madtwoz Bike Club.

It started with a few broken bikes and a simple idea: instead of throwing them away, why not fix them — and teach the youth of Sandy Ground how to do it themselves?

That's how the Madtwoz Bike Club was born. Today, it's one of our most loved projects — a space where young people come not just to repair bicycles, but to discover something about themselves.

More Than a Workshop

The Bike Club isn't a classroom. There are no grades, no pressure, no perfect way to do things. Just a workspace, a set of tools, and people willing to learn. Some come because they want to fix their own bike. Others come because a friend brought them along. A few come because they have nowhere else to be — and end up staying for years.

What they all find is the same thing: a craft worth learning, and a crew worth being part of.

MADTWOZ BIKE CLUB - SANDYGROUND

What We Do

In the Bike Club, our youth learn:

• The basics of bicycle maintenance — patching tubes, adjusting brakes, truing wheels

• Full restoration of donated bikes that get rebuilt and given back to the community

• Problem-solving with your hands — patience, logic, persistence

• Working as a team, sharing tools, helping each other out

Every bike that leaves the workshop has a story. Some go to kids who couldn't afford one. Others stay in the club as training bikes. A few even go on to be raced.

Why Bikes Matter

In Sandy Ground, a bike isn't just transportation — it's freedom. It's a way to get to school, to work, to the beach. For a young person without one, that freedom can feel out of reach. The Bike Club exists to change that.

But it's about more than mobility. It's about teaching that skills can be learned, that broken things can be fixed, and that real pride comes from doing it yourself.

Join the Club

The Bike Club is open to anyone in Sandy Ground who wants to learn. No experience needed — just bring your hands and your willingness. We'll provide the rest.

If you'd like to support the Bike Club — by donating tools, parts, or old bikes — we'd love to hear from you. Every wrench helps.
