The Ogden Bicycle Collective is bringing the immensely successful and popular Bike Prom (put on yearly by the Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective) home to Ogden as Bike Homecoming! We will start the event with a free, easy, no-drop, community bike ride (route TBD) where everyone of all abilities is welcome. This will be followed by a formal dance party held at the Copper Nickel in downtown Ogden with Lavender Vinyl DJing. Everyone is encouraged to dress in their best formal attire for the theme "Enchantment Under the Sea"!
Keep an eye on our website, Facebook page, and the event page for information on ticketing, route info, volunteer opportunities, and more!
The bike ride is free, but tickets will be sold for the dance. All income from this event goes back into supporting the Ogden Bicycle Collective's community programs. Come out for a good time to support bikes and the community!

Danielle Fry
Danielle is a long time bicycle commuter, but until stepping into the Ogden Bicycle Collective (OBC), knew very little about bike mechanics. She began attending the free Bike Mechanic 101 classes, then applied for and was accepted into the first round of OBC's Apprenticeship Program. After completing the program, Danielle was hired as OBC's Volunteer Coordinator, where she took an active role in helping to develop many of OBC's existing programs. When the position became available, Danielle was promoted to Director of the Ogden Bicycle Collective. Danielle has been involved in non-profit work for over a decade, and has seen first-hand how bikes can improve people's lives. She is proud to be part of a sustainable community organization that works to empower people and promote a healthy lifestyle.

He is the founder of Provo's Earn-a-Bike Program, Juvenile Justice Mechanics course, and leads our community outreach efforts.

I love bicycling for transportation, recreation, and pure enjoyment.
I'm currently a Realtor and formerly a Case Manager in the non-profit sector where I learned what a valuable asset the SLC BC is to the residents of City of Salt Lake. Bicycling brings people together and that's exactly what the world needs!

Written by Austin
Seventy lucky children are about to experience the joys of new bike day.
With two giveaways on May 6th and 16th, Provo Bicycle Collective proudly gave away 70 refurbished kids bikes to Utah Foster Care and Boys and Girls Club of Utah County. These valued nonprofit partners will now distribute our bikes to children who otherwise could not afford one. Our hope is that these kids will use their bikes often to get to school and nearby social activities. The staff at Provo Bicycle Collective would like to thank the 100+ volunteers who helped fix these bikes up over the past two weeks.
We're always looking for bicycle and financial donations to help make these giveaways possible. Please consider donating today to help continue our charitable programs.

(we are still open for sales, but all workbenches are reserved for volunteer projects)
The mission of the Bicycle Collective is to promote cycling as an effective and sustainable form of transportation and as a cornerstone of a cleaner, healthier, and safer society. The Collective provides refurbished bicycles and educational programs to the community, focusing on children and lower income households.
Volunteers of the Ogden Bicycle Collective ground our culture as a bike shop by the community, for the community. Volunteers are the lifeblood of the OBC; in the shop they enable the Collective to provide goods and services to everyone, including low-income households. Learning bicycle repair, they enrich our community while gaining valuable skills for themselves. Running bicycle valet and other outreach events, they connect local networks and push the boundaries of our services. Taking on other projects with OBC, they use their passions to improve and develop the shop.
Contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Lilly, at or 801-997-0336 to find out more information about current volunteer opportunities or ways to help.
