Volunteers are the lifeblood of the Bicycle Collective, grounding our culture as a bike shop by the community, for the community:

• In our shops they enable us to provide equitable access to transportation. 
• Learning bicycle repair, they enrich our community while gaining valuable skills for themselves. 
• Running bicycle valet and other outreach events, they connect local networks and push the boundaries of our services. 
• Taking on projects with Bicycle Collective, they use their passions to improve and develop the shop and organization.

Whether or not you have prior bike experience, there is a place for you. All we need from you is a passion for our mission and a regular time commitment.

• To learn new skills 
• To learn about ALL sorts of bicycles given our unique service and environment as a bike collective

As of Wednesday, June 30th, 2021 appointments will no longer be necessary for bike and parts shopping. 

Open-Shop has returned! As of Wednesday, July 7th, we are now operating our (DIY) Open-Shop program by appointment. 

Our bike shop is different compared to other shops in the area. At the Bicycle Collective we’re about education above all so we put the wrench in your hand. We won't do the work for you, but we'll help you to complete almost any bike-related project; there’s absolutely no experience needed! Whether you’re an old hand at the wrench or laying hands on a drivetrain for the first time, we can help you out, as hands-on or hands-off as you want.

Use of the shop is $5 per half-hour, or free to members.

Alan Gooch is a graduate from our Junior Bicycle Mechanic Apprenticeship and a long time volunteer during youth open shop. Alan's music taste has evolved over his employment with the bicycle collective and he's now the expert on folk-punk and 80's new wave. 

Brandon Barnes joins the Ogden Bicycle Crew as our newest mechanic. Brandon brings with him years of experience. He also owns a bicycle sail. Stop by and meet Brandon

Harper Singlespeed / Fixed-Gear

Remember 2006-2007 when you were tearing up Washington Blvd and Playing Bike Polo at the Soloman Parking Garage? Is Critical Mass still a thing? When we saw this bike it triggered a nostalgic flashback and we knew we'd have to stock at least one. With a quick flip of the back wheel, Harper turns from a single-speed cruise to a hair raising, skid-inducing fixed-gear thrill ride

Cub Balance Bikes

A balance bike is better than training wheels. Riding along with no pedals means kids balance on their feet, which means their feet are almost always touching the ground. We brought in these balance bikes because we often get requests from parents looking for alternatives to training wheels. We want to offer the cycling experience to the entire family.

Bicycle maintenance has traditionally been a male-dominated environment. Let's change that!

Women’s Night offers a safe and supportive environment for females and those who identify to volunteer in the shop or fix their own bikes. Participants learn new skills, get practical help with their own bikes, and contribute to our bicycle giveaway programs. Join us whether you have experience with bicycles or not.

The Women's Night events and group are for: Anyone who identifies as female, transgender, femme, genderqueer, trans-masculine, trans-feminine, or feels that their socialization or treatment as a woman, transperson*, femme has impeded their participation in bicycle mechanics.

For those working on their own bikes, there is a $10/hour suggested donation (more if you can, less if you can't).

Join our virtual community at: facebook.com/groups/obcwomen for Women's Night info, updates and to talk bikes, biking and bike mechanics.

OBC Women’s Night is on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month 5 - 7PM.
