Community Cycles Bicycle Advocacy Programs

The Earn-A-Bike program is open to all, no bicycle knowledge is required! With the guidance of experienced and friendly volunteer mechanics, participants work in the shop learning the ins and outs of bike mechanics.

This 15 hour program is divided into 2 parts, the first 10 hours are spent doing community service at the shop working on tune ups, sorting parts or whatever is needed in the shop at the time. For the last 5 hours participants pick a bike, customize it to their preference and keep it as their own. When complete, participants ride away with knowledge, understanding, and a reliable bike.

Stop by the shop during open hours and start earning your bike today, no appointment necessary.

Kids Earn-A-Bike This program differs from the adult version in that we begin each session with a presentation on the topic of the day. We then have the kids put their learning into practice by tuning their own bikes.

Safe Routes to School - Community Cycles will teaming up with the Boulder Valley School District this fall to support the Safe Routes to School program. Stay tuned for details

Rolling Bike Clinics During the summer, Community Cycles brings bike maintenance to the Boulder community. Our volunteer mechanics load their bike trailers up with bike tools, parts and accessories and set up rolling bike workshops, that run 3 - 4 day bike maintenance clinics. GO Boulder's Bicycle Ambassadors also participate bringing bicycle safety instruction to clinic participants.

Bike Fleets Working with various local business and governmental agencies Community Cycles provides and maintains bicycle fleets at the work place. We set these bike fleets up in a number of ways.

The most popular method is the workshop where 10-12 employees visit the Community Cycles shop for a 4 hour session. During that time our experienced mechanics guide the group through bike tune ups. When finished, the group will take 3-5 bikes to be used at their workplace for people who can�t commute to work can borrow a bike to run errands, lunch or even commute.

Another bike fleet model is to have Community Cycles tune up and deliver the bikes to your work place. We also offer custom bike painting services and will paint the bikes in your company colors.

Workshops are billed based on the size of the group and the company's needs. Contact us to get rolling on a bike fleet at your workplace today.

Bikes Abroad - Community Cycles works with the Spokes Community Bicycle Project to send bikes abroad. Spokes Community Bicycle Project is an aspiring Non-Profit project whose mission is to empower communities by engaging in activities that promote environmentalism and human equity. Spokes recovers Landfill-Bound Bicycles, repairs them to working condition and prepares them for shipment to developing countries.
