Community Cycles surveys e-bikers for better infrastructure

If you ride a bike in Boulder County, you need to know about Community Cycles.

Located at the northeast corner of Spruce and 26th streets, (2601 Spruce Street, Boulder), Community Cycles is more than a biker's thrift store with refurbished bikes and new and used biking togs and accessories. It is more than a charity that collects bikes for the economically disadvantaged and also gives away 350 bikes to kids during the Christmas season by attending and supporting bike drives. (Have a bike to donate? Do it here). It does more than support bikers' needs, such as providing training to show riders how to care for and maintain their bikes.

Community Cycles is a non-profit bike shop that sells and donates quality refurbished bikes, and new and used parts and accessories. Proceeds provide funds for access to more bicycles for all of Boulder, bike care and repair workshops, and lobbying power for safer cycling infrastructure. As a 501(c)(3) organization, all donations are tax deductible as allowed by law.

Although Community Cycles does not service bikes for the public, it partners with the public to empower riders to fix their own bikes. Get information on public classes, donation services, store hours, and more at the Community Cycles website at https://communitycycles.org/.

Community Cycles is also a non-profit, public and grant-funded entity that is working to provide more safe transit options for bikers in the Boulder Valley while working with Colorado state government to coax people out of their cars and onto the more climate friendly electric biking mode of travel.

To this end, Community Cycles received a Colorado state grant to solicit and obtain survey responses from those already riding ebikes to help demonstrate the need for better, safer, commuter bike routes that include paths separate from normal car traffic lanes.

With the help of respondents documenting their ebike mileage, Community Cycles hopes to show that state funding for safer bike commuting routes is warranted.
