Local to Boulder, Community Cycles (CC) is a non-profit organization whose mission is, “to educate and advocate for the safe use of bicycles as an affordable, viable and sustainable means of transportation and personal enjoyment in our community.” CC is composed of a community effort held together by a core of dedicated volunteers. This team provides re-cycled bikes as well as an opportunity to learn about bicycle repair, maintenance and operation through outreach and advocacy activities.
