  Bike For Bibles
  

Bike for Bible logo

Bike for Bibles is a fund raising initiative of The Bible Society. Since 1984 we have raised over $8 million for Bible Society projects worldwide. This has enabled many thousands around the world to learn to read using God's word.

People overcome many personal, physical, and spiritual challenges to be involved in the exciting and vital ministry of Bike for Bibles.

Rides range from just a few kilometres to much longer marathon rides, with events planned around Australia and overseas. You can be part of Bike for Bibles by riding, joining the support crew, praying, or making tax deductible donations.

Give the gift of literacy, and God's life giving Word.

Email us for more information.
