Bikes Mwerre and Outback Cycling School Holiday Partnership

Outback Cycling was proud to once again support Bikes Mwerre in running a fun and educational school holiday bike program for young people in the Mutitjulu community.

Invited by the Mutitjulu Community Aboriginal Corporation (MCAC), the Bikes Mwerre team spent a week with local kids delivering a range of bike-related activities — from learning how to fix and care for bikes, to practising road safety, racing, games, and group rides.

Around 30 young people aged 4 to 15 took part, learning new skills, keeping active, and connecting with one another. Older riders mentored younger ones, helping to build teamwork and confidence throughout the week.

The kids of Mutitjulu and Bikes Mwerre team fixed 25-30 bikes in the community and bought another 20 from Alice to fix and donate to the community.

The highlight came on the final day when participants completed a 15-kilometre ride around the base of Uluru. With the older kids encouraging the younger riders, everyone crossed the finish line together — tired but smiling.

Alongside Outback Cycling, Bikes Mwerre were also supported by the Mutitjulu Community Aboriginal Corporation, and Headspace to make the week possible.
