We-Cycle

We-Cycle To responsibly and safely redistribute used and refurbished bicycles to homeless or at-risk members of the community. Welcome to We-Cycle! Thank you!

We are a needs-based provider of bicycle transportation for those experiencing, or at-risk of, homelessness in our community. The barriers experienced by these individuals may be extensive, and We-Cycle strives to fill this niche service sector, in order to support these individuals. While bicycle transportation may be an ideal option for some, there are many in our community who cannot afford to

buy one, perhaps due to homelessness, addiction/recovery, recent release from incarceration, loss of employment, eviction, and refugee status. Helping these individuals is at the heart of our mission. We-Cycle works in partnership and cooperation with local bike shops to meet the varying needs in our community. If you have some resources to pay for a bike, please consider visiting these terrific local bike shops. Since we are not a full-service repair shop, we provide space for those needing bike repairs to work on their own bikes, with assistance from our trained volunteers, as available. We carry some used, spare parts or accessories which we might sell “as is” to that end. We also accept monetary donations. All proceeds go back into We-Cycle's Mission. We are volunteer-operated, and we welcome all service-oriented individuals to join us in meeting the tremendous need in our community for those experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness.

Annual Review page 4. Thank you again to Reliable Street for your continued generosity in sharing space with We-Cycle, without which we would not be able to make this impact in the community.
Thanks again to 3M Gives for another year's grant of $3,000. With this support we have been able to provide even more bikes to those in need in our community.
We-Cycle is one of six community bike shops being sponsored this year by RAGBRAI Gives! We are excited for this opportunity, so when you sign up for RAGBRAI, click the donation box to share the love.

Annual Report page 3. A Very special Spotlight for Craig Corson, formerly the Bicycle Repair Man.
Craig Corson and his business partner and Wife Diane Corson have dedicated a lifetime of service the Iowa Cycling Community as well as to the Ames Community at large.
Much of cycling infrastructure that we enjoy and take for granted across the state can be attributed in some part to this amazing couple.
Please read all about their amazing contributions and achievements.

That guy probably helped most of Story County prevent homelessness during his time. What a tremendous loss to the Ames Community, but TBH is still standing as a testament to his passion and commitment. .

I found myself reminiscing about the evolution of the We-Cycle Shop space over the past seven years and the overall growth of We-Cycle since it's inception.

So, I decided to pour over some old photos of the shop, and create some Before/After comparisons, as well as include some photos of past volunteers. Our volunteers have played a crucial role in helping make We-Cycle successful and have brought such fun and enthusiasm. Please enjoy these and stay tuned for more.

As always, We-Cycle would also like to thank the team at Reliable Street for the use of their building to run our operations. Thank you.
