Bicycle Exchange Workday w/ Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition

Our first event with the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition was a great success and thankfully they invited us back for another bicycle workday!

The Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition helps needy families and individuals by repairing and donating used bicycles to our partner community service organizations. A warehouse and workshop is fully outfitted with storage, repair stands and tools for year round operation.

The Bicycle Exchange meets to receive, repair, and distribute its inventory of donated bicycles. New volunteers often learn bicycle repair skills by assisting a team of more experienced volunteers. The Bicycle Exchange donates bicycles and helmets throughout the year to local charities that serve both children and adults. They also provide bicycles to homeless individuals to provide transportation from shelters to places of employment and schooling.

Tax-deductible donations of bicycles are gladly accepted. The program specializes in children’s bicycles (tricycles + wheel sizes from 12.5” to 26” including Mt. Bikes) and they accept adult size bikes in exceptionally good condition. The mechanics always have lots to do and none are paid so we appreciate your effort to clean up your bike before donating it so we can focus on repairs.
