Corvallis Bicycle Collective

Our Mission

The Corvallis Bicycle Collective exists to transform our community through the joy and benefits of bicycling. We believe that access to bicycles and the ability to maintain them empowers individuals and strengthens neighborhoods. Our commitment is to enhance health, safety, sustainability, and happiness for everyone by providing opportunities to learn, engage, and build a more vibrant, cycling-friendly Corvallis.

The DIY Bike Shop: Where Knowledge is Power

At the heart of the Corvallis Bicycle Collective lies our vibrant community do-it-yourself bike shop. This space is open to anyone, regardless of experience, who wants to learn, tinker, and explore the world of bicycle maintenance and repair. Our fully stocked workstations, complete with bike stands and an assortment of tools, are available to use at no cost. Experienced mechanics and knowledgeable volunteers are always on hand to offer guidance and support, answering questions and helping individuals develop their skills. Whether you're tackling a flat tire, fine-tuning your gears, or undertaking a more complex repair, the DIY Bike Shop provides a welcoming and collaborative environment to learn and grow.

In addition to offering hands-on learning opportunities, the DIY Bike Shop is also a platform for sharing knowledge. We frequently host workshops and classes designed to teach cycling basics, repair techniques, and essential maintenance skills. Our goal is to empower individuals to become more self-sufficient and confident when it comes to caring for their own bicycles, saving money and fostering a sense of ownership and connection with their rides.

More Than Just a Bike Shop

The Corvallis Bicycle Collective is deeply committed to actively engaging with our community and advocating for cycling initiatives. We believe that bicycles have the power to improve the health, safety, and sustainability of our city.

You can find us at the Corvallis Farmer's Market, where our Ask-A-Wrench booth provides a platform for answering bike-related questions, offering simple repairs, and engaging with the community. We also participate in a variety of environmental, health, and cycling events throughout the year, raising awareness about the benefits of cycling and promoting it as a viable and enjoyable mode of transportation.

The Power of Volunteers

The Corvallis Bicycle Collective thrives because of the dedicated volunteers who contribute their time, talents, and passion. From assisting customers in the shop to organizing inventory, cleaning bicycles, and leading workshops, our volunteers play a vital role in keeping our mission alive. Whether you have expertise in bike repair, enjoy working with people, or simply want to make a difference in your community, there's a volunteer opportunity waiting for you. Your contributions, big or small, make a significant impact on the lives of individuals and the vibrancy of our community.
