Mission: Our mission is to make bikes accessible to everyone. We aim to create a more inclusive community where everyone has the opportunity to ride, connect and live well.

What We Do: 

  • Bike Donations: We collect gently used bikes from the community.

  • Bike Repair: Volunteers fix and repair bikes, making sure they are in excellent condition.

  • Affordable Bikes: We sell bikes at a low cost, making cycling an accessible option for all.

Why We Do It:

  • Better Transportation: Bikes offer an affordable way to get to work, school, or around town. 

  • Health & Fun: Cycling is great exercise and helps reduce stress.

  • Waste Reduction: We give old bikes a second life and keep them out of landfills.

  • Environment: More bikes means fewer cars, less pollution, and cleaner air.

  • Community: We bring people together through donations, volunteering, and learning. 

Support for Everyone: We help families, seniors, and others access affordable bikes.

Get Involved: 

  • Donate a Bike: Give your old bike a new home. 

  • Volunteer: Help us fix bikes and build community. 

  • Buy a Bike: Get an affordable bike and support our cause. 

  • Become a Sponsor: Help us make bikes more accessible and support our community.

Support our initiative - Help Keep us Rolling!
As we roll into a busy season of wrenching and riding, we’re reaching out for support. We’re in need of specific bike consumables – chains, cables, housing, brake pads, lube/grease, and other essentials we go through in bulk. To keep this smooth and consistent, we’re hoping you can help by purchasing directly from a standing order list at Big Hill Cycle. Whether you’re able to contribute one item or a handful, every little bit helps us get bikes Back in Gear!
