FTW + Queer Cycle Jam

A free bike repair event for FTW: femme, trans* and women. This is a welcoming space to drop in and learn bike repair skills for people who may feel less comfortable in the male dominated realms of cycling and mechanics. FTW Cycle Jam is a fortnightly drop-in style LGBTQIA+ event at the Recylery. Everyone involved is welcome to learn, teach, and share skills about bicycle maintenance. People can bring their own bikes to work on or purchase a bike to work on. Wear enclosed shoes and comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting a bit dirty. 

If you’re unsure if this event is for you, or you would like to give us feedback on the way we’re running this event please contact Zoe: sustainability@canberraenvironment.org or 6248 0885. You can also fill out this anonymous feedback survey

Please note: the Recyclery welcomes everyone to visit during its opening hours Tuesday-Thursday 10-4.  There is also a general Cycle Jam on Saturdays 11-1pm.

Accessibility: the Recyclery has an accessibility ramp, a regular sized doorway and moderately limited space inside. The Recyclery has one regular sized toilet cubicle. Some of this activity will be taking place outside on a lawn/paved area. For all accessibility enquiries please contact us 6248 0885 sustainability@canberraenvironment.org


For the safety of everyone please stay home if you are unwell. You can expect to see COVID-19 signage reminding all participants of their responsibilities, contact tracing and hand sanitiser at the entrance, and capacity signage on the buildings.

The staff and volunteers at the Recyclery acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land we meet on, the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people. We recognise First Nations Australians as the first innovators, engineers, artists, and problem solvers of these lands, and we pay our respects to them, their continuing culture, and their Elders of past, present and future. And we extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
