CALENDAR
Thursday March Madness
Dribble on down to Upcycle Bikes for March Madness Thursdays!
Join us every Thursday in March from 1-5 p.m. to shop high-quality bikes, wheels, components, and accessories. Score a great deal, help us make space in the shop, and support our work with your purchase.
The bikes for sale are not ideal for the needs of our riders, and the other items available generally can’t be used for the bikes we refurbish. So, we sell these to the public with proceeds going right back into our mission. Win-win!

Pedals for Progress 2026
A bike has the power to move its rider toward a destination; a bike provided at no-cost to someone who needs it has the power to move its rider toward independence, opportunity, and connection to resources. At Upcycle Bikes, a bike is more than a bike; it’s a lever for progress.
Join us at Pedals for Progress 2026 on Thursday, September 24 from 6-8:30 p.m. at the Goei Center to celebrate the progress made by individuals building stability in their lives with affordable transportation; reflect on our collective progress as a growing organization and community resource; and invest in the future progress through continued impact.

Upcycle Bikes will be participating in the 43rd annual Resolution Run at Reeds Lake this year! The 6.4k (4-mile) run takes place on New Year’s Eve and is a fun way to close out the year. Upcycle Bikes will be onsite collecting donations of bikes and bike parts such as reflectors, saddles, and grips. Please stop by our tent at Big Bob’s Pizza to say hello or drop off a donation between 11am and 3pm!
