Donate A Bike

Community Cycles is able to do what it does because of thousands of generous used bike and part donations from the Boulder community. Your donation is a building block for our biking community, our education and advocacy work, and our programs to benefit our low-income friends and neighbors.
We are not picking up donations at this time.

  • What kind of bikes and parts does Community Cycles accept?

    All of them! We accept anything and everything bike-related, in any condition, adult bikes AND kids’ bikes. We recycle what we can't repurpose.

  • What will happen to my bike donation?

    Your bike and parts donation will support our great mission that bicycles are affordable and sustainable transportation:

    • Bikes support our Earn-a-Bike Program.
    • Bikes go to low income kids through the annual Kids Holiday Bike Giveaway event.
    • Bikes are introduced into bike fleets around town.
    • Bikes are donated to our low-income friends and neighbors.
    • Bikes are sold in our retail shop.
    Every donation helps get more people on bikes.

  • Is my donation tax deductible?

    Yes, Community Cycles is a tax exempt 501(c)3 non-profit organization. You will be offered a tax receipt for proof of your donation at time of drop off.

  • Where/When can I drop off my donation?

    We accept donations during our open hours: 11am-6pm Thursday through Sunday so that staff may safely handle bikes.

  • Do You Buy Bikes/Can I trade my old bike in for a new one?

    However, bike donors are welcome to participate in Earn-a-Bike, or you can always purchase a great refurbished bike from our showroom.
