Off Course Bike Shop, community and resilience

Monday, 22 June 2026 - 10:00am to 10:30am
A smiling man in a green t-shirt with the logo "Off Course" on it sits next to a microphone and looks at the camera.

Faith and Val are joined in the studio by Huw Vellacot of Off Course Bike Shop and we all share our bike moments including a particulalry healing ride for Huw. 

Talk turns to the devasting fire that burned the Off Course home of eighteen years to the ground, almost four weeks ago. The devastation of the fire extends far beyond the bricks and mortar or stock, with twenty staff affected and a community that extends around the world feeling the loss. Huw talks about how the business has been able to regroup, how doing things and being together in a space has helped staff, and the wider community through the recent Fire (Garage) Sale, process not only the loss but what a future might look like. 

We finish up with a reminder that this Friday sees Critical Mass head to Moonee Valley!
