The Bicycle Collective is a group of nonprofit bike shops that refurbish donated bicycles and put them into the hands of those in need— focusing on children, newly resettled refugees and immigrants, individuals experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity, individuals recovering from substance abuse, and low-to-moderate income households.
In 2024, we gave 1,231 bicycles to those in need through our Bikes For Goodwill and Earn-A-Bike programs for adults, as well as our Kids Bike Giveaways, administered through over 65 community partners throughout Utah.
The Bicycle Collective is a volunteer-fueled organization, and in 2024, our engagement increased both in number of participants, and the hours they gave, across 4 locations.
to the Bicycle Collective in 2024, across our four locations. All bikes donated are assessed for their highest and best value. For example, older unwanted mountain bikes tend to make great commuter bikes with a little love. We specialize in adaptive reuse when preparing bikes for their next owners. Ones that can't be refurbished get properly broken down and recycled.
In 2024, we sold a total of 1,544 both online and in-shop at our 4 locations, making it affordable for anyone to get outside and experience the joys of cycling. We also continue to expand our parts & accessories sales through our online web store. Every dollar we make from reselling bikes and parts goes back into our operations, and allows us to give more bikes away and fund our training and education programs.
Bike Valet is a service that Bicycle Collective locations provide for a fee for community events like farmer's markets and community concerts. Promoters of events can cut down on people driving cars, and we'll take care of parking and retrieving bikes for the attendees, a real win-win-win. We also provided Bike Valet services for free for attendees at our annual Bike Prom, which was held at Woodbine SLC.
