Put your money where the wheels are.
Vélocity runs lean. Every dollar goes toward refurbishing bikes, stocking parts, running classes, and supporting our scholarship program providing 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.
