Community Bicycle Organizations

The list below uses the criteria found in the old Bicycle Organization Organization Project for what constitutes a community bike shop, namely:

• Non-profit bicycle organizations
• Bike shops that are accessible to people without money
• Shops that have an educational focus, teaching others how to fix bikes
• Shops that are volunteer run
• Organizations that ship bikes to communities in other countries.
• Shops that provide free or low-cost services to the community.
• Organizations that recycle bicycles and parts
