Walawaani on Wheels

This community program, funded by Fire to Flourish and managed by BBMTB, helps kids in and around the Mogo community access Mogo Trails by providing equipment and coaching.

​​

What's in the program?
 

• Bikes and safety gear available to borrow.

• Help with bike repairs through our Fix-It Fund.

• Learn how to maintain and look after your bike.

• Access to donated second-hand bikes.

• A new mountain bike track at Mogo Public School.

• Riding skills coaching with qualified BBMTB instructors.

• Opportunities for older participants to learn advanced bike maintenance and gain industry experience.

 

Who can join the program?

​​

The program is currently focused on children aged 9-12 who attend Mogo Public School or live in the Mogo area. The bikes and safety gear provided through the program have been selected to suit this age group.
 

Young people aged 12-18 who live in Mogo may be eligible for support through the Fix-It Fund, subject to available funding.

 

We are also collecting donated bikes from the local mountain bike community to help older riders get out on the trails.

​

As the program grows, we hope to expand opportunities to more young people across the Eurobodalla region.

 

How the program works?

​

Registration

​

Children aged 9-12 attending Mogo Public School are automatically included in the program. Young people aged 9-18 who live in Mogo but do not attend the school can register by emailing ridebatemansbaymtb@gmail.com.

​

Get Your Bike Rolling

Participants can access the Fix-It Fund to help get existing bikes repaired. Participating bike shops will carry out repairs and show young riders how to keep their bikes running smoothly.

​

Borrow a Bike and Safety Gear
 

The program includes a fleet of bikes available for participants to borrow, along with helmets, knee and elbow guards, safety glasses, gloves and a BBMTB drink bottle.  There's bikes and safety gear at Mogo Primary School and more at Ride Mogo.

​

Learn New Skills

 

Once riders have access to suitable equipment, BBMTB will deliver riding skills sessions later in 2027 designed to build confidence, improve technique and help participants get the most out of Mogo Trails.

​

Learn Basic Bike Maintenance

​

Local bike shops will run hands-on workshops covering basic bike maintenance, helping young riders learn practical skills and become more self-sufficient.
