Dylan began his journey like many of Good Cycles’ social program participants, entering the Pedal Empowerment Program (PEP) after a lengthy period of unemployment.

Team building days are always great fun at Good Cycles and our most recent day out was no exception. In true GC spirit, we got on our bikes and set off for a group ride adventure down to the Bellarine Peninsula.

This is Nathan. He’s been a trainee with Good Cycles for two months now, so no doubt you’ve seen him around. Maybe in the workshop, probably at the Hub or maybe out on the Melbourne streets racking up the ks on his bike.

It goes without saying that evaluating and reporting on social impact is both incredibly important and extremely time-consuming for social enterprises. That’s why we’re excited to be working with Swinburne University, through the Social Enterprise Impact Lab (SEIL), to help make the process simpler and clearer for everyone involved.

We work hard to forge strong industry connections here at Good Cycles and so we often connect with potential program participants through introductions from our broad network. That’s how we met Nathan.

We’ve just wrapped up another great Pedal Empowerment Program. From learning bicycle mechanics through to job skills such as teamwork and communication, PEP has set all participants on the path to employment.
