Our member training program relies on used bikes which we use to train our apprentice mechanics, expanding their skills.  We need parts, tools and shop supplies to repair bikes.  Most gifted bikes get recycled back into the community at very low prices or are given to our membership who are in need of basic transportation–earning these bikes by learning to fix them.  Tools can help us expand our outreach and assist us in helping other fledgling DIY bike shops spring up throughout the city.  You can help us immensely in our efforts to return more safe running bikes to our streets and increase ridership; as that is our mission.

*We appreciate that you understand we cannot be a dumping ground for unsafe and unusable bikes, toxic waste and generally broken items.  Although we are grateful for the sentiment, we have just as much of a challenge as any organization or individual in finding ways to recycle our waste material and scrap metal and aluminum.  It’s always best to drop things off during business hours.  If you have questions, don’t hesitate to call during our business hours or email us.

And thank you, from the bottom of our bottom brackets!
