AMA-winning broker Donald Tang is diversifying… into Sydney’s first ever bike-sharing service

Success in broking is often defined by driving a big car, the flashier the better. Not for Alliance Mortgage Solutions founder Donald Tang. Sydney’s crowded CBD makes walking unavoidable and often slow, Tang explains. 

“This idea of sharing bikes comes from my own pain points.” Tang is launching Reddy Go, using an approach that’s hugely popular in Europe and China. Unlike in Melbourne, Reddy Go bikes won’t be dispensed from pods. “That loses the concept of convenience. With sharing bikes, you can basically park anywhere as long as it’s easy to park.” You book and unlock bikes using your phone.

The first shipment of 140 red bikes arrived in July and 480 more are on the way. Tang is hoping the bike-sharing concept will be quick to take off in the Harbour City.

“I knew there’d be somebody who’d say no to my bikes, but I just do the best I can do to provide people with convenience and a solution for short-distance travel.”
