Donate your bike to SPOKES

SPOKES is a new, innovative community bicycle and walking resource in Minneapolis. Our goal is to get more people to use biking and walking for transit, recreation and exercise.

Earlier this year launched our community bike lending library and our earn-a-bike program. We also started selling used bikes at the Hub’s mini-store at SPOKES. All of this has been successful!

We are rapidly running out of used bikes to:

-Fix up for our community bike library program
-Use for our Earn-a-Bike Program
-Rehab for sale to support our free programming

So, we are having a mid-summer used bike drive from July 17 to 20! Please consider donating used bikes you no longer want or need to SPOKES.
We’re located at:

1915 East 22nd Street, Minneapolis
(1/2 block west of Minnehaha Avenue on 22nd Street–one block south of Franklin–the Blue and Green building)

You can drop off your used bikes at SPOKES:

-Wednesday, 5-9 p.m.
-Thursday, 5-9 p.m.
-Friday, 3-6 p.m.
-Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

Or you can call (612-787-7433) or email (info@spokesconnect.org) to drop them off at another time.
If you have four or more bikes to donate, we’ll even come and pick them up!

Thank you!
