What an incredible Walk & Bike Month! Many thanks to all the sponsors, volunteers and the over 7,500 people and 264 companies who registered for Bike to Work Day! (This compares with 5,100 people and 156 companies in 2007.)
All this would not be possible without the support of the City of Boulder and the generous sponsors of Walk & Bike Month. A special thanks also goes to all the businesses and community groups that participated in BINGO!, Park(ing) Spaces, hosted a breakfast station or hosted a Walk & Bike Month event.
We heard a lot of stories this month, people who chose to find other ways to get to work, play or shopping. People who chose to give up a car and become a one-car family. If you have a special Bike to Work Day or Walk & Bike Month story to tell us, please e-mail me at

Remember to keep walking and riding your bike. If you need on-line turn-by-turn bike routing directions go to GOBikeBoulder.net.
Again thanks to all who registered and participated and thanks to our many awesome sponsors! Ride safe!

Community Cycles is fueled by a small staff and a committed group of volunteers who are making a difference. We receive an average of 75 bikes monthly. These bikes are refurbished and recycled for return to the community. We reach out to businesses, schools, and civic groups in the community, and we advocate for the rights of cyclists of all ages.
To conduct these activities, we need committed volunteers in many areas, such as:
- General shop help
- Shop facilitators who are willing to come in for three-hour shifts to assist in bicycle workshops and programs
- Bicycle mechanics of any skill level
- Bicyclists who would like to lead community rides
- Event planning
- Farmers Market and other outreach
- Fundraising
- Bicycle collection
- Bookkeeping
You will benefit from being part of an organization committed to changing transportation behavior. You will also meet some great, energetic and intelligent members of your community.
If you have court ordered community service you can do your hours at Community Cycles. There is no need to make an appointment or call ahead, just show up during open hours and we'll get you started.
