“We are thrilled to host this truly amazing event at Optibike this year.”
December 16, 2012, 9a.m. – 1p.m.
Optibike
3200 28th Street Boulder, Colorado
It’s a community event from beginning to end!
Throughout the year, Community Cycles takes in 100s of kids’ bikes. Each fall, dozens of volunteer mechanics donate their time to our “work nights” to get bikes ready for the December event.
Local businesses donate the venue, provide snacks and beverages for our volunteers or refreshments for the families that come to the event. Other businesses donate employee community service hours or give matching funds as part of workplace giving.
A hundred volunteers come together on the day of the event to distribute 300 – 400 bikes.
That’s a whole lot of smiles!
How YOU can help
Donate kids’ bikes: Spread the word!
Each year we give away about 300 bikes, all of which were donated to Community Cycles by our community. If you have unused bikes, please drop them off at our shop during open hours. We appreciate your donation (no later than the weekend) before the event, please.
Sponsor a child for as little as $25
When you sponsor a child’s bike, you contribute towards the necessary fees to clean up, repair and replace parts, and make a bike safe for a child to ride it away. Suggested minimum donation: $100 (and you can always give more!). Your donation is 100% tax deductible. Send your donation directly to Community Cycles.
Sponsor Happy Holidays for a Family $100
Sponsor a family! Create happy smiles all around! Your contribution provides a bike for each child in a family. On average, families who attend the event have 3-5 children. Suggested minimum donation: $100 (and you can always give more!). Your donation is 100% tax deductible. Send your donation directly to Community Cycles.

We have many volunteer options available. Anyone (everyone!) can help regardless of bike mechanic experience. Bring a friend, your family, ckers, your sweetie!

Together, we make this a fun and rewarding experience for you, for us and for 100s of children in our community. The families in our community will truly appreciate any time you can share.
