Free Cycles Missoula
About Us: Free Cycles Missoula is an all-volunteer effort to provide free bikes and parts to the people of Missoula. This happens in many shapes and forms. What started as 'free-roamin' green bikes in the spring of 1996 as evolved into 5 different programs:
Community Cycle Shop: We run a shop that people can build bikes, get used parts, borrow tools, etc- for free.
Festival of Cycles: Each spring we throw a huge 'bike party' to kick off the city's Bike/ Walk/ Bus week. The main attraction is combining whatever bikes and parts we have on hand (usually several hundred) with a community-wide bike drive that forms the bike pit. People helping people build bikes is what it's all about.
CheckOut Missoula: We keep several styles of bikes on hand to loan out to visitors, other non-profits, and whoever else needs short-term wheels.
Pedal Education: Our outreach program- includes everything from maintenance workshops to sustainable transportation discussions.
Green Bikes: Our free-roaming program- we release anywhere from a few to 60 green bikes at the festival. Usually half survive the season. This program is more about trust and sharing than transportation.
