Bikes go hand in hand with the social enterprise focus of Donkey Wheel House. In 2013, City of Melbourne developed plans to improve Godfrey Street.

I don’t think the planners came check out the hood. They didn’t consult further, but included the bike posts in the redevelopment. Positioned at the centre of Godfrey Street, rather far from Bourke, they aren’t much used.
Nonetheless, the facility’s been welcomed by bike riders!!
