Earn-A-Bike Program

For a More Equitable Boulder.

Since 2006, the Earn-A-Bike program has helped get more than 3,000 of our low-income friends and neighbors on bikes!

We think everyone in Boulder should have access to all the benefits and goodness of bicycling:  for health, for clean air, for sustainability, and for affordable and equitable access to transportation.

The power of the bicycle to create change

How to Sign Up

Earn-A-Bike is for low-income participants who are 16 and older and who do not own a well-functioning bike.

Income Criteria: Single | $22,500 or less  ~  2-person family | $28,600 or less ~ 3-person family | $34,700 or less

If you do not meet the income criteria, please consider purchasing one of our affordable, refurbished bikes.

How It Works:

Our Earn a Bike program has changed due to COVID-19.   There are no workshops or volunteer opportunities at this time.

You will register through the link below.

A safe and reliable bike will be chosen for you based on your height.  Expect a beach cruiser type of bike. Typically with one gear and pneumatic tires.

You will receive a membership, lock, helmet, and light if available.  We currently do have a waiting list for bicycles.

Cost

Program fee: $20 (nonrefundable)

Fill out the Earn-A-Bike application.

A graduate says:

“I have benefited enormously from this program! I could not afford a bicycle, and I was not very knowledgeable about them.”

“I have saved a lot of money on fuel, and I use my car so little.  I enjoy the health benefits of bicycling, and I also get to see and interact with my neighborhood.”
