Put your money where the wheels are.
Vélocity runs lean. Every dollar goes toward refurbishing bikes, stocking parts, running classes, and giving free bikes to neighbors who need them. We’re a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so your donation is fully tax-deductible — and it goes a lot further than you might think.

Donate a Bike or Parts
Got a bike you’re not riding? Donate it. We’ll refurbish it, and it’ll go to someone who really needs it — or fund more community programs when we sell it.
How to donate a bike: Bring it to either shop during business hours. That’s it.
Please review our e-bike policy before bringing in e-bikes or e-bike components. Unusable parts don’t go to the landfill — metal and rubber are recycled through our parts program.
