We bring bikes back to the road helping newcomers be happy riders. One bike at a time.

Rescue

We source bikes for donation that have been gathering dust in garages
around the Whakatipu.

Repair

Our volunteer team of ace bike mechanics assess donated bikes for suitability and safety, then fix them up ready for the new owners.

Re-home

Newcomers to the area, or anyone who needs a bike, can apply or be nominated to receive a OneBike - ready to hit the road.

OneBike is a community project. It’s by the community for the whole community.
We need you to join the movement.

OneBike wants everyone in Queenstown to have access to safe and affordable bicycles, spare parts and quality cycling equipment. We are committed to reducing the disposal of bicycles into landfills by prolonging the lifespan of bikes.
OneBike provides access to active travel options, reduces emissions, and is building a connected and thriving community of bike users in Queenstown.
