1304bikes is a collectively-run non-profit organization committed to getting discarded bikes repaired, refurbished, and into the hands of those in our community who need them. We do this mainly through our Earn-a-Bike program in which individuals fulfill volunteer hours in the shop, and then get assistance in building their own bike. (Our emphasis is on education; we do not build bikes and give them away.) This program is open to anyone wishing to participate, free of charge. Our extensive stock of parts and specialized professional-quality tools is also available to anyone wishing to repair their own bike during shop hours. Although the Earn-a-Bike program is our primary focus, we occasionally offer instructional workshops, host ride events, and make donations to other local organizations. Volunteers are needed for a large assortment of shop-related tasks, and all skill levels are welcome. Donations of bikes, parts, tools, or funds are gratefully accepted and tax-deductible.
