At Communicycle, one of our goals is to make bicycling a more sustainable form of transportation by making bike repair affordable. For this reason, we do not charge outright for use of our tools or services. That said, it does take money to keep this operation rolling, so we've developed a list of suggested donations for the use of our shop, and we strongly encourage participants to chip in accordingly. If money is a problem for you, please talk to us about alternative options you have for earning your bicycle or part(s).
Our suggested donation structure is...
- $20 - Adult/youth bikes needing repair (includes whatever used parts it needs)
- $10 - Small children's bikes needing repair (includes whatever used parts it needs)
- $5 - Used parts
- $5 - Per visit for use of tools and shop supplies
- Though most folks find everything they need in our used parts bins, if your bike requires a new part from our shop, we ask that you reimburse us the cost of the item. On occassion, we may also recommend the purchase of certain new parts specific to your bike from a local bike shop.
- For those needing transportation in a hurry, we have a limited supply of used bikes that have already been fixed up by our volunteers. Prices vary for ready-to-ride bikes. Please ask one of our volunteers about availability and pricing.
Donations do not have to take the form of money. Volunteer time at the shop, items from our wish list, etc. count just the same. But still, no one will be turned away due to inability to make a donation.
