Community Cycles-Your Bicycle Community at Work!
Contributed by: Mary Katherine Jones on 4/11/2007
Community Cycles is a collective of bicycle enthusiasts whose mission is to educate and advocate the safe use of refurbished bicycles as an affordable and sustainable means of transportation and personal enjoyment. Community Cycles repairs donated bikes, utilizing them locally and internationally, in teaching programs, to help anyone earn a bike as a means of transport and recreation.
The "Earn-A-Bike" Program allows people to pick and customize a bike of their own after 15 hours of shop time and instruction with volunteer mechanics. Community Cycles works with Spokes Community Bicycle Project to send bikes abroad to countries that don't have access to them through the"Bikes Abroad" program. Their first shipment of 450 bikes went to Ghana Africa in November 2006. During the summer, Community Cycles partners with Naropa Bike Shack to set up "Rolling Bike Clinics", in which they train community members and then leave behind bike repair stations for the use of the neighborhood. Community Cycles also gives away bikes to low income families and individuals throughout the year and sells refurbished commuter style bikes at affordable prices.
Donate your old bike or volunteer at this wonderfulnon-profit! Visit their store or the Boulder Food Co-op at 19th and Pearl to find the right bike for you!
