2017 was a record-setting year for PBC. We refurbished and gave away more than twice as many bikes as last year. Everyone in the valley will benefit from cleaner air as more people ride bikes.
Thank you to all who contributed.
Let's continue this momentum for next year! We need your help; donate today! There are only two days left to get your 2017 tax deduction!
Bio coming soon.
Born and raised in Utah, Cole has always loved the outdoors. He was introduced to mountain biking in 2016, and since then he has raced with a local team and worked at a bike shop. After discovering the Bicycle Collective in 2017, he started volunteering in Youth Open Shop and has since become an employee. When he’s not at the Collective, Cole likes mountain biking, camping, running, reading, and playing the cello.
JP is pretty awesome. He has lots of experience riding and working with bikes. He is a really nice guy and loves helping you fix your bike. The best thing about JP is everywhere he goes he brings his dog Cosby, who is unquestionably the best boy!
St. George Bicycle Collective receives $2500 towards after school program
Written by Judith Rognli
The Bicycle Collective received $2500 to fund a fall series of after school bike mechanics classes for Elementary Schools in Washington County. We thank Intermountain Healthcare and the Community Partner Fund for helping us to provide basic training and FREE bicycles to elementary students from low-income families!⠀
⠀
The St. George Bicycle Collective provides basic bike mechanics training and bicycles to children in need as part of the GO WASH CO initiative, which is brought forth by several agencies including Intermountain Healthcare / Dixie Regional Medical Center, The Bicycle Collective, Southern Utah Bicycle Alliance, Southwest Utah Public Health Department, City of St. George Leisure Services, SelectHeath and the Healthy Dixie Council.
Eagle Scout Projects for the Ogden Bicycle Collective
The Ogden Bicycle Collective would be happy to be the beneficiary of your Eagle Scout Project!
Please read our general Eagle Scout Project page first.
BIKE DRIVES:
The most common project is hosting a bike drive. The scout is responsible for planning and implementing project logistics and coordinating volunteers to gather unused or unwanted bicycles. The scout and volunteers will then pick up bikes (a large trailer is helpful), and arrange with Bicycle Collective staff to drop them off at our Community Bike Shop. The scout and volunteers will also need to help us sort and organize donated bikes.
These bikes will be refurbished and given away to homeless, refugees, and low-income individuals; sold to fund our programs; or stripped and recycled. The average project should plan to yield between 50 and 150 bicycles.
Please contact our Program Coordinator at or 801-997-0336 to find out if a bike drive is a current need and arrange a time to discuss your Eagle Project!
OTHER PROJECTS:
Eagle Scouts are encouraged to present other projects they feel would be helpful to the Ogden Bicycle Collective, however they are subject to staff approval.
Some current needs that may be fitting for an Eagle Scout Project:
-Obtaining funding for, and planning and constructing of a handicap/wheelchair ramp (this would include researching applicable ordinances and regulations, including ADA guidelines, and getting appropriate approvals)
-Helping to obtain funding for and planning additional storage for the Community Bike Shop (this would include researching applicable ordinances and regulations, and getting appropriate approvals)
-Organizing a donation drive based off of our donation wish list and any additional needs identified by staff
Please contact our Program Coordinator at or 801-997-0336 to discuss your Eagle Scout Project Proposal and get approval before completing.
On Saturday, March 24th, dozens of children lined up to receive a free bicycle from Provo Bicycle Collective.
Within one hour, PBC had given all 53 bikes to children for free.
Our hope is that each bike recipient uses his or her bike to get to school each day and continues that habit into adulthood. This way, we can reduce traffic, clean Utah's air, and create a healthier population.
We need your support in this cause!
Donate money or bikes today. $30 provides a bike for a child in need! Please give today!
Women, Trans, Femme Night *Temporarily Suspended due to COVID-19*
*Temporarily Suspended due to COVID-19*
A safe and supportive learning environment for those who identify!
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 knowledgeable and confident working on their bikes. The Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective holds Women Trans Femme (WTF) Night in the shop every Wednesday from 5:30 - 8:00 PM. This program offers a safe and supportive learning environment for those who identify to fix their own bikes, buy bikes, and/or volunteer in the shop.
Use of the shop for DIY projects is $5 per hour, or free to members.
This space is for:
Anyone who identifies as female, transgender, femme, genderqueer, trans-masculine, trans-feminine, or feels that their socialization or treatment as a woman, transperson*, femme has impeded their participation in bicycle mechanics.
Women: A person who identifies as a woman.
Trans: Transgender, genderqueer, gender non-conforming, gender creative, anyone whose gender identity is fluid, transgressive, and/or transitioning.
Femme: A gender identity in which a person of any gender embodies a feminine appearance, expression, or identity.
If you are not WTF identified, BECOME AN ALLY:
- Respect the space: Come during our regular open shop hours.
- Respect People: During our regular open shop hours, treat all female & trans* folks as you would any other person (don’t assume they’re less knowledgeable, don’t call them “sweety,” and NEVER take a wrench out of their hand!)
- Get Educated: Learn about the issues facing women and trans* communities.
- Educate others: About why and how to be an ally!
This program was implemented with assistance from BICAS.org and other WTF program models across the nation.
Sean Murphy joined the Collective's Board in 2015 and served once as Secretary and now Chair for a third term. He's focused on ensuring the Collective's future is strong and making sure every shop, current and future, is supported and stable.
Sean spends his days as the Legislative Audit Director for Salt Lake County and his weekends getting rad in the mountains, the rock, and the dirt. He'll ride any bike you've got.
I love being on a bike. But even more than that, I love riding in close proximity to my family and friends. A close third is seeing others on bikes, particularly kids. It is at times like these that I feel the most hope for the world.
I like to commute to work (always getting the best parking spot). I like to pedal when I'm going out for the evening. I like thinking about how to get non-riders on bikes. I like to get in a bit of distance on the road. I like riding the mountains and deserts in and around Utah. I like multi-day family treks. And finally, I like exploring other cities and countries by bike.
My favorite day of the year is Bike Prom.
Provo Bicycle Collective is proud to announce a newly-formed partnership with Refugee Action Network through which we hope to provide dozens of free bikes each year to refugees seeking to become self-sufficient in Utah Valley.
In its last year of work, Refugee Action Network has proven itself as an effective resource for refugees who have already spent some time in the US and seeking to become more self-sufficient.
Our partnership allows Refugee Action Network to recommend their clients to our shop for a free Goodwill Bike – donated bicycles refurbished by PBC volunteers. In 2016, Bicycle Collective gave away 1,436 Goodwill Bikes throughout Utah.
Our hope is that their refugees will use these bikes to meet daily transportation needs; riding to work, shopping for groceries, and meeting appointments.
We’re always in need of willing volunteers to repair bikes for these refugees. Interested volunteers can find out how to fix bikes with us at Bicyclecollective.org. No experience is necessary.
Bike mechanics has traditionally been a male-dominated trade. To promote equality, Provo Bicycle Collective will host volunteer hours set aside for traditionally marginalized groups including women, girls, transgender, and any female-identifying people.
These volunteer hours are designed to create a safe and inclusive space and will function the same as existing volunteer hours. All bicycles repaired by volunteers are given away to people who couldn’t otherwise afford one, giving independent transportation to those who need it most. Our goal in creating this program will be reached if said individuals feel included in our volunteer program.
We invite all women, trans, and female-identifying people to join us during these volunteer hours to repair bikes for those in need. We need your help! Provo Bicycle Collective gave away 408 bikes in 2017 and with your help, we will give away many more in the years to come.

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!
