Board Member Emily Hackett accepting the Bike Month proclamation from Mayor Willey.

At the Hillsboro City Council meeting on May 7, Mayor Jerry Willey declared May Bike Month and May 12-18 Bike Week in the City of Hillsboro. The proclamation, which Mayor Willey read to the Council and meeting attenders, recognizes the many benefits of bicycling including sustainability, healthy lifestyles, and community building. 

The League of American Bicyclists has made May Bike Month for over fifty years, and many local governments and businesses participate with bicycle oriented activities during the month of May.  So far this month, we have even been blessed with splendid cycling weather!

Stop by our shop during busines hours to read the proclamation in its entirity.

We carefully evaluate each donated bike. Durable bikes in good condition are cleaned and tuned up. Some go to eligible youth and adults in our community programs. Others are sold in our retail shop with the proceeds benefitting our non-profit mission.

Bikes in poor condition are carefully dismantled and usable parts are salvaged. Unusable bikes and parts are carefully recycled.
