Stopped by Community Cycles today in Boulder to drop off an old bike I had. Amazing place. Lots of activity going on. Bikes all over the place in different stages of clean up, repair, rebuilding. Very friendly people. As soon as I arrived a young woman introduced herself, thanked me for the donation, filled out my tax-deductable form and showed me where to take the bike. After that I just wandered around checking the place out. Volunteers cleaning the shop up, parts being sorted, people getting instructions on how to work on their bikes. They even have an Earn-A-Bike program where you donate your time and after 15 hours you can pick out a bike and fix it up for yourself. Just great bike stuff, right to ride advocacy, communtiy bike programs where they hold Rolling Bike Clinics to fix broken bikes in low income neighborhoods. Lots of real world bike experience here. Very cool. Glad I found it.
