A program teaching young people in Mparntwe-Alice Springs how to fix bicycles, as well as road safety on their bikes, is calling for people and businesses to help them expand into the Barkly.

8CCC Big Brekky host Kate Lyons-Dawson spoke to Alice Ross from Bikes Mwerre on Thursday morning about the program - which started just two years in the Red Centre - and its hopes to expand.

Alice said the program had grown out of a similar program in South Australia, and was now running workshops in Alice Springs with young people, school holiday programs and more.

She said the Bikes Mwerre group were looking for Barkly locals to help the program deliver workshops and training in Tennant Creek, from just fixing bikes to being positive mentors for the town's young people.
