Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective

The Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective is a bicycle cooperative in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Founded in 2002, the Bicycle Collective has grown to include community bike shops in Salt Lake City, Provo, Ogden, and on the campuses of the University of Utah[1] and Westminster College. The Bicycle Collective refurbishes used bikes donated by individuals or by the city[2] and sells them to community members or donates them to charities or shelters.[3][4] The Bicycle Collective also offers various educational programs, such as general bicycle maintenance courses, a frame building class,[5] educational courses specifically for children,[6] and a women's night[7]
