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 below and pop in for a friendly chat with knowledgeable locals to get the following services:
- Basic bike repairs and education
- Receiving donated bikes
- Affordable refurbished bike sales
- Bike safety checks and gear
- Local information and advice
- Events and networking – see what’s happening on the Bike Hub events page (coming soon).
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 bring 9 new Bike Hubs to communities across Tāmaki Makaurau throughout 2023.
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 it’s 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 Bike Hub vision
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 bike hubs work best when they look, feel, and operate like a local. That’s why we’ve partnered with local groups to operate our hubs, are working with Auckland-based artists to design the containers and co-designed the operating model with the community. See the tables on this page to explore our bike hub operators.
We’ve met with and spoken to a significant number of stakeholders across all bike hub sites 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 hors a week, and offer a reliable and trusted service.
Upcoming locations
This project supercharges the growth of our bike hub network and will see up to nine bike hubs delivered in the next two years by AT. Some bike hubs will be completely new, while some community bike spaces will be supported to become a full bike hub. Existing bike hubs and other spaces will continue to be supported.
