Fat Bikes

Maintenance of the Fat Bikes at the Watarrka Primary School

In 2016 the Foundation provided the Watarrka Primary School with 24 Fat Bikes. The desert environment and children are extremely harsh on the bikes and extensive ongoing maintenance of the bikes is undertaken. The servicing and replacement of worn parts is generously undertaken by Chris Hakanson (Kings Canyon Medical staff member and keen mountain biker). The bikes have been extremely popular with the children and act a carrot to get them to attend school. ‘if your not at school, you can’t ride the bikes’
