Got an unused bike collecting dust?

🚲 Donate it to CVBC tonight!

We refurbish donated bikes, recycle usable parts, and help put affordable transportation back into the community.

Even bikes that aren’t repairable help fund our mission through recycling and parts recovery.

Drop-offs accepted during open shop hours.

🪖 Safe riding starts early.

CVBC’s free children’s helmet program helped distribute 89 helmets last year so more kids can ride safely and confidently.

We also support bike rodeos and safety events throughout the Cedar Valley.

Your donations help keep these programs rolling. Donate at https://cvbikecollective.square.site/

🚲 For many people in the Cedar Valley, a bicycle isn’t recreation — it’s transportation.

CVBC helps provide reliable refurbished bicycles to veterans, immigrants, students, and community members who need affordable ways to get to work, school, and appointments.

A donated bike can change someone’s daily life.

Help us outfit more riders with bikes, helmets, lights, and locks.

🔧 Behind every refurbished bike is a volunteer willing to turn a wrench.
