The Greensboro Community Bike Shop at Barber Park was founded upon 4 main principles: Good works and charity should serve a greater community purpose. We achieve more by working cooperatively and collectively in equal partnerships. We all work within our specialized skills while learning from each other. We work within a spirit of experimentation, constant testing of technologies, and innovation.
The Greensboro Community Bike Shop at Barber Park does not directly give bicycles to individuals, but rather we work in partnership with other organizations to find, collect, repair, and distribute bicycles to qualified community members. We receive donated bicycles from UNCG, the Greensboro Police Department, local bicycle shops, faith-based groups, and from individual donors in our community. After receiving, sorting, and fixing the bicycles, we then work with our community partners and social service providers to deliver used bicycles to various needy clients, including new residents, immigrants, refugees, migrants, the homeless, and poorer youth in Greensboro. Since 2017 we have collected over 3,000 used bicycles. In 2022 we collected 890 donated bicycles, gave away 289 repaired bicycles to the needy in our community who were vouched through our agency partners, with the rest being recycled as scrap or put to good use. Bicycle Donation Drop-Off Locations: REI, 3334 West Friendly Avenue, Suite 140 Reconsidered Goods, 4118 Spring Garden St Cycles De Oro, 701 A Hill Street (at Battleground)
