Who We Are

Community Cycles is a community effort held together by a core of dedicated volunteers.

CC Board

Josh Brown has been riding one bike or another for as long as he can remember. he's been dragging bicycles in various states of disrepair home for much of that time. Much to the chagrin of his parents, roommates, and even the EPA. He's spent more time in Boulder than anywhere else in his life (6 years), and is finally getting around to calling it home, with a little help from Community Cycles. He spends most of his time riding a bike, learning about silkscreening, cooking vegan food, and the internets. josh brown wrote this bio himself.

Josh volunteers at Community Cycles on a variety of levels including; mechanic, instructor, bike repair stand builder, fund raiser, bike geek and board member.

Anthony Hannagan started the non-profit bicycle business named "Townie Bicycles" in 2004 and collected enough bikes to raise $6500 for the Emergency Family Assistance Association (EFAA). After he renamed it "Boulder Community Cycles" in 2005, Anthony moved out of his back yard and opened a wharehouse on North Broadway in March 2006.

In hopes of solidifying a community-oriented volunteer team and bicycle recycling operation, he wrote and submitted form 1023 to the IRS requesting tax-exemption for Community Cycles under section 501(c)3. During a turbulent, busy and exciting summer of 2006 he collaborated with the other members of the Community Cycles you know today.

Through a University grant program, Anthony was able to follow our first Africa shipment into Ghana, and study the Village Bicycle Project there. Please ask him more about this!

Wanda Pelegrina Caldas has never owned a valid driver's license. She believes that car culture is at the root of many a societal problem. When not dreaming of car free communities with streets converted to gardens, Wanda has both feet planted firmly on her pedals.

Some may not imagine that under the guise of mild-mannered family outreach coordinator at local elementary school, lives many a layer of bicycle grease and that beneath her no nonsense fa'ade is a girl who loves life'on two wheels).

Wanda's done all kinds of exciting things on her bike including moving from her old apartment to her current home. In 2006, Wanda was GO Boulder Bike Commuter of the Year.

Wanda's outlook on life: Gas is for bad digestion and everyday is bike to work day!
