What is a bike hub?

Auckland Transport partners with a range of community organisations to operate a network of bike hubs across Tāmaki Makaurau. We’re constantly growing and developing this network. Find your closest bike hub on this page and pop in for a friendly chat with knowledgeable locals to get the following services:

  • basic bike repairs and education
  • accepting and refurbishing donated bikes
  • affordable bike sales 
  • bike safety checks and gear
  • local information and advice
  • events and networking – see what’s happening on the Bike Hub events page

All services are free, and we rely on a wide range of supporters and partnerships to keep bike hubs operating. Any koha is warmly welcomed.

Community Bike Hubs Project - Te Poka Pū Paihikara i tēnei Hapori

A project to rapidly grow the Bike Hubs Network across Tāmaki Makaurau throughout 2024.

Why bike hubs?

A third of Aucklanders currently ride bikes. Another third say access to a bike prevents them from cycling. Bike hubs make it easier for existing and new cyclists to access affordable bikes, basic bike fixes, and local friendly guidance.

Bikes are key tools to reduce pollution, increase accessibility, and support local economies. Auckland Transport wants to make it easy for people to cycle, as we look to deliver on our promise of better journeys for all Aucklanders.

Community Bike Hubs has been co-funded by Ngā Tiriti Ngangahau – The Vibrant Streets programme, a joint Auckland Transport/Auckland Council programme and designed to address emissions from our transport system and improve active modes access. Community Bike Hubs were endorsed due to its alignment to Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan, and key outcomes including:

  • environmental – increasing access to bikes and encouraging bike usage
  • safety – getting unsafe bikes fixed, upskilling riders, and sharing best practices
  • community – creating a place for locals to connect, learn, and have fun on bikes
  • economic – employing local people and upskilling volunteers as a potential pathway to paid work.

Our vision for bike hubs

Bike hubs provide a community-based approach to normalise cycling everywhere around us. They provide a low-barrier, supportive, inclusive, and accessible place and are at the centre of cycling in a neighbourhood. Run by locals and supported by a wide range of partners, they form a reliable and trusted network across Tāmaki Makaurau.

Operating model

We know sites work best when they look, feel, and operate like a local. That’s why we’ve partnered with local groups to operate each location, are working with Auckland-based artists to design the containers and co-designed the operating model with the community. Check out the tables on this page to see who's running our sites.

We’ve met with and spoken to a significant number of stakeholders across all of Tāmaki Makaurau, including crown agencies, Council Controlled Organisations (CCOs), elected members, bike shops, community enterprises, business owners, mana whenua, and local residents. We’re working in tight partnerships to make sure the bike hubs are serving their communities as best as possible. If we’ve missed you, please get in touch.

Bike hubs will be operated out of two re-purposed shipping containers; modified as workshops and artistically designed to represent the local community and place. They'll have consistent opening hours, between 15 to 25 hours a week, and offer a reliable and trusted service. 

Upcoming locations 

This project supercharges the growth of our Bike Hub Network and will see 8 bike hubs delivered before the end of 2024. Starting in mid-2023, we’ve already delivered 6 sites, with the last 2 expected later this year.
