Mission Statement

Encouraging communities to choose bicycles for a sustainable future by creating access to affordable, healthy transportation. We provide refurbished, donated bicycles to people in need, ensuring equitable access to bicycle transportation and promoting healthier living and environmental responsibility. SVBE builds cycling knowledge and confidence. We teach bicycle repair in a hands-on, diverse, respectful, and supportive environment. SVBE fosters a culture of reuse and recycling. We divert donated bicycles and parts from landfills, extending the lifespan of these resources.

Description

Silicon Valley Bicycle Exchange (SVBE) has been repairing and donating used bikes since 1993. We are a volunteer driven, non-profit community bicycle shop, dedicated to refurbishing bicycles and making them available to people in need. We're always looking for volunteers to help us repair bicycles, run our events and programs, and manage administrative functions. If you're skilled in repairing bikes - great! We'd love for you to volunteer with us. We also have many other positions we need to fill. Email our Volunteer Coordinator at Toni@bikeX.org.
