The Bike Oven operates with tools, bicycles, and parts donated by the founders, volunteers and enthusiasts. Donations of bicycles, parts, and tools are the lifeblood of pursuing the Bike Oven’s mission.

DONATIONS
The Bike Oven is always in need of donations of bikes, parts, tools, and shop & office supplies. We take bikes and parts in any condition. Parts that cannot be reused or repaired are recycled for raw materials. Please don’t let that old bike rust away or end up in a landfill. Let us put it to good use promoting bicycling as a viable alternative to fossil fuel based, destructive forms of transportation. Any and all donations are accepted, but please see our Wish List for greatest needs.

Donations can be dropped off at any time during regular hours.
Pick-up or off hours drop off of large donations can be arranged.
