History
Started out of a garage by 4 cycling enthusiasts, the Salt Lake Bicycle Collective has grown to be one of the largest and most effective community bike shops in the world. In that growth the Collective has taken on a core staff of bike mechanics and teachers to keep the consistency and quality of programming high, while remaining heavily dependent on casual, core, and community service volunteers from the community to pull off those programs.
Specialties
Refurbishing bikes for a variety of empowering purposes: getting kids on bikes for the first time and teaching them the mechanical skills to maintain their rides through our free Earn-A-Bike program; giving bikes to the needy through our Goodwill program; teaching those interested in learning more about bike repair; and outfitting the community with inexpensive professionally-tuned bikes and parts to promote cycling in Salt Lake City.
