Donations of Bikes and Parts
WE CURRENTLY ARE NOT ACCEPTING MOST BICYCLE DONATIONS BECAUSE WE ARE OVER CAPACITY AND MUST REDUCE OUR INVENTORY
Due to our limited capacity, we cannot always accept all bikes. We generally cannot accept bicycles that are low quality and/or in poor condition.
We depend upon the donation of bikes and parts to do the work that we do. We take all bikes and parts, which may be brought to the shop during our public hours or by appointment.
What do we use your donations for?
• Wrench and Ride: An eight-week program in which participants learn fundamental bicycle maintenance and bicycling skills. Participants select and help repair a bike, learn bike safety skills, we ride together, and graduates take their bike home, along with a helmet, lock, and lights.
• Donations to individuals in need: we refurbish donated bicycles and work with area shelters and assistance programs to give the bikes to individuals in need.
• Supporting bicycle education: We sell refurbished bikes and parts to help fund our maintenance workshops, classes, and the other work that we do.
