Boulder Bike Shops

Community Cycles has a great rundown of local bike shops on their website, here.

With information about each shop such as what each carries, what they specialize in, and all the info you need to get in contact with them, it's a great one stop resource for every shop in Boulder.

Volunteers Needed: Community Cycles bike pickup

Community Cycles needs voluteers for a massive bicycle pickup tomorrow. Wednesday, August 20th, from about 9:45 until about noon or so.

From Rich Points, CC's director:

"Meet at Community Cycles at 9:30. We'll leave at 9:45a.m. We'll drive over to the Boulder Police Station around 10a.m. to load up about 50 bikes into the van.

Once we've processed those back we'll head over to the Boulder Housing Partners storage area for another 100 bikes."

Volunteers should meet either at Community Cycles, at Boulder Police Station, or at Boulder Housing Partners. Volunteers on bikes are welcome and encouraged, as most of the help we'll be needing will be loading and unloading of bikes. We'll have our regular van, as well as a rental van to help move the bikes to their new home. Driving volunteers are also welcome.

For those of you not familiar with them, Community Cycles does a ton of awesome work with these donated/recycled bikes, including Earn-A-Bike programs for kids and adults, Mechanic's classes for volunteers, and lots of other amazing programs.
Check out their website (very first link above) for more information.


Full disclosure: I volunteer at Community Cycles myself. I help run the Youth Earn-a-bike program, as well as sit on the board of CC.
