Recycle-a-Bike’s Mission is educating, empowering, and building community by connecting people and bicycles. People learn to believe in themselves and their community by learning and sharing bike maintenance knowledge. Recycle-A-Bike’s programs make the simple technology of pedal-powered machines available to all with the help of volunteer staff and general community skill sharing. Recycle-a-Bike also takes donations of rideable, unwanted bikes, and bicycle parts.
