Shopping for a bike online doesn’t have to be intimidating! We’ve updated our Bike Sizing Tips information to better assist customers looking for their perfect ride. You can read all the tips on the webstore, but a good place to start is thinking about the style of bike you’re interested in. Working Bikes lists our refurbished adult bikes in four main categories: Road, Mountain, Hybrid, and Cruiser. Each type of bike has certain characteristics that make them ideal for different styles of riding. Check out a brief description of the styles below!
The 2020 Annual Report is now available! Take a look at our year in review, complete with year-end totals, stories from our partners, and community highlights. While 2020 was certainly a challenging year, we did our part to keep folks rolling, making the necessary changes to provide a safe and accessible service.
The Working Bikes Annual Meeting recently took place as well, and we were so excited to have two of our amazing partners share a bit about their work. If you weren’t able to join us for the meeting, you can view our partner discussions, featuring Jon and Ben Voss from Africycle, and Derek Brown and Julie Globokar from Boxing out Negativity, on the Working Bikes YouTube channel.
