Cedar Valley Bicycle Collective

It's World Bicycle Day and we want to hear from YOU:

💬 Why do you ride?

Is it: 🚲 Transportation? 🚲 Exercise? 🚲 Family time? 🚲 Community? 🚲 Adventure?

Tell us in the comments and share a favorite biking photo.

Halfway through our fundraising campaign and we’re feeling incredibly grateful for this community. 💚

Every share, donation, volunteer hour, and bike donation helps strengthen cycling access across the Cedar Valley.

If you’ve been meaning to support CVBC, now’s the perfect time because you can get a free T-shirt!

🚲 Donate 🚲 Volunteer 🚲 Donate a bike 🚲 Attend an event

Together we’re building a stronger cycling community.

Got an unused bike collecting dust?

🚲 Donate it to CVBC tonight!

We refurbish donated bikes, recycle usable parts, and help put affordable transportation back into the community.

Even bikes that aren’t repairable help fund our mission through recycling and parts recovery.

Drop-offs accepted during open shop hours.

📣 Advocacy matters.

This year CVBC worked with cities and county leaders throughout the region to formally recognize National Bike Month and support safer cycling infrastructure.

We’re proud to advocate for riders in: 🚲 Waterloo 🚲 Cedar Falls 🚲 Waverly 🚲 Evansdale 🚲 Hudson 🚲 Gilbertville …and beyond.

Your support helps amplify the voice of cyclists across the Cedar Valley.

🌉 The Bridges Ride is almost here!

Join us for one of the Cedar Valley’s favorite cycling traditions featuring: 🎶 Music 🍔 Food 🚲 Great riding 🍻 Community celebration

Events like this help build excitement around cycling and support trail advocacy throughout our region.

Register, ride, and support local cycling.

Did you hear that we are one of the beneficiaries of RAGBRAI Gives? Along with the 5 other community bicycle shops in Iowa - Chain Reaction Bike Hub in Cedar Rapids, Street Collective in Des Moines, Dubuque Bike Coop , Iowa City Bike Library , and We-Cycle in Ames.

And we are halfway to our goal of $60,000 raised in 2026 (or $10,000 designated to each bicycle chop). Make a donation at the QR code below or online at the link in bio.

🪖 Safe riding starts early.

CVBC’s free children’s helmet program helped distribute 89 helmets last year so more kids can ride safely and confidently.

We also support bike rodeos and safety events throughout the Cedar Valley.

Your donations help keep these programs rolling. Donate at https://cvbikecollective.square.site/

💚 Help us provide even more helmets, lights, and safety education in 2026.

Need a bike? Need to donate one?

Stop by the Cedar Valley Bicycle Collective during open shop hours:

🕒 Monday: 3–6 PM 🕒 Wednesday: 3–6 PM 🕒 Saturday: 8 AM–12 PM

We’ve got youth and adult bikes ready for the season — and we’re always accepting donations.

Every donated bike helps fund our mission and expand access to cycling in the Cedar Valley.

🚲 For many people in the Cedar Valley, a bicycle isn’t recreation — it’s transportation.

CVBC helps provide reliable refurbished bicycles to veterans, immigrants, students, and community members who need affordable ways to get to work, school, and appointments.

A donated bike can change someone’s daily life.

Help us outfit more riders with bikes, helmets, lights, and locks.

💚 Support the mission today.
