Meet Vince 🔧

With 25 years of experience as a bicycle mechanic, Vince brings a wealth of knowledge and craftsmanship to the Brainwave Bikes workshop. Before joining the team, he owned St Kilda Cycles for 15 years and is a TAFE-certified bicycle mechanic.

A lifelong cycling enthusiast, Vince enjoys riding his classic Cecil Walker and takes pride in giving every bike a new lease on life. His most memorable workshop encounter? A unique GT "I-Drive" bike that definitely stood out from the crowd.

Meet Charlie 🔧

Charlie has been part of the Brainwave Bikes workshop for four years, helping refurbish bikes and ensuring they're ready for their next adventure.

When he's not in the workshop, you'll usually find him racing mountain bikes competitively or studying Industrial Design. Riding a Norco Range, Charlie brings both technical skill and a genuine passion for cycling to the team.

One of the biggest things he's gained at Brainwave Bikes is developing his people skills—and the quirkiest thing he's ever seen come through the workshop? An electric recumbent bike towing its own trailer!

Come and meet the team, explore our range of refurbished bikes, or learn more about what we do at Brainwave Bikes. Visit brainwavebikes.org.au or call 1300 292 453.

Building Skills. Building Confidence. 🚲

Last weekend we held our final bike maintenance workshop for the year, giving riders of all ages the opportunity to learn essential skills such as basic bike safety checks, keeping their bikes properly maintained and fixing those pesky flat tyres.

A huge thank you to Paul Christian for sharing this wonderful feedback after attending our Introduction to Bike Maintenance workshop with Vinnie. Comments like these remind us why community education is such an important part of what we do.
We would also like to thank Bendigo Bank Dingley Village Community Bank for funding this year's workshops and making them accessible to local families. Their support has helped people across our community gain practical skills, confidence and independence through cycling.

While this was our final workshop for 2026, we're already thinking about what comes next.

👀 Watch this space for future workshop opportunities.
