By this summer, the St. George Bicycle Collective will be in a new location on Bluff Street.

Currently, the city owns the building the collective leases. But its long term plans are to demolish it along with the Inn at St. George in order to develop the two lots. According to city officials, there are no firm plans on what will occupy those lots. But what is in the works is for the city to lease space at the Dixie Metropolitan Planning Organization Building at 39 S. Bluff Street and sign a long term lease allowing the St. George Bicycle Collective to move in.

Before the collective moves into its new permanent location, it will occupy a temporary space after Christmas at 389 Industrial Road, #8.

Economic development takes many forms. The EDCUtah model of growing Utah one company at a time is one way. There is equally important work taking place at the street level, one individual at a time. The Bicycle Collective is an example of this people-centric approach to grow our economy, by giving residents more ability to engage in meaningful work opportunities or career paths. 

For newly arrived refugees still learning their way around Salt Lake City, bicycles offer an independent form of transportation giving adults autonomy and kids the chance to have some fun.

From grinding gears to tightening brakes, working on bikes can be intimidating and emotionally deflating for some people.

The Salt Lake Bicycle Collective is gearing up to welcome this season’s riders eager to tune up their bikes and make them look pretty again.

Remember the excitement of getting a new bicycle? Over the past couple hours, several children in Salt Lake have experienced that joy. It was made possible by a handful of local high school students.

This holiday season, the Ogden Bicycle Collective is working with Community Christmas — an event sponsored by the Ogden-Weber Community Action Partnership — to provide bikes for 100 local kids in need.

 A class of 18 young people gathered Monday at the nonprofit St. George Bicycle Collective for an inaugural lesson in bicycle mechanics.

A program designed to help more people get around via a healthy means of transportation is celebrating a full year of success at its new location in St. George.

Bicycle Maintenance has traditionally been an overwhelmingly (cis) male-dominated area. It is our goal to help teach individuals who have been marginalized or intimidated in this setting to be knowledgable and confident working on their bikes.  Maya Hardie, SpyHop youth filmmaker, explains this program offers a safe and supportive learning environment fo those who identify as women, trans, or femme.

For three hours on Monday nights, the Provo Bicycle Collective is only open to women volunteers. During these hours, Kira Johnson, an employee at the Bicycle Collective, leads the volunteers through bicycle mechanics and maintenance. Johnson can observe how enjoyable it is to know how to fix a bike.

Visit Salt Lake City’s Bicycle Collective on any given day and one will be surrounded by people who share a common passion.
