The Bike Co-op is proud to announce two Fort Collins screenings of the feature length documentary With My Own Two Wheels.  Two Wheels weaves together the stories of five individuals across the globe into a single narrative about the bicycle as a vehicle for change. The documentary was shot on location in Zambia, Ghana, India, Guatemala and California.  Each screening will be followed by a question and answer session with the Producer/Co-director of the film Jacob Seigel-Boettner.

The screenings will take place at 7:00pm on December 7th and 8th at The Lyric Cinema Cafe.  Tickets for each night can be purchased before the event for $10 at the Bike Co-op or  The Lyric Cinema Cafe.  Tickets will also be available at the door for $15.  Seating is limited, so buy your ticket early.   Each ticket purchase includes a complimentary New Belgium Beer (For those of legal drinking age).  Hey, $10 for a movie and a beer!  Just try to find a better deal.

All proceeds raised from the two night event will help to support the Fort Collins Bike Co-op and World Bicycle Relief

Sponsored by Poudre Valley Health Systems and New Belgium Brewery.

For the entire month of September, the Bike Co-op will be the recipient of the HuHot “Keep the Change” program proceeds.  Patrons to the restaurant have the option of rounding their bill up to the nearest dollar, and the Bike Co-op gets to “Keep the Change”.  Both the Old town and Front Range Village locations in Fort Collins are participating.  So, get some friends together for dinner, and raise some money for the Co-op at the same time.

The Fort Collins Bike Co-op is having a bike sale on May 7th and 14th from 10am to 4pm.  We’ll be selling lots of top-notch refurbished bikes, some new bikes, and “As is” bikes to fix up yourself. ( at home or at the Co-op’s open shop! ) All styles of bikes are available including commuters, cruisers, fixed gear, single speed, road, and mountain bikes.  New and refurbished bike prices range from $100 to $600.  “As is” bikes and bare framesets are $10 and up.

The Bike Co-op also sells lights, locks, helmets, and innertubes.

The Fort Collins Bike Co-op is a Non-Profit, Community owned and operated bicycle project; as an independent and autonomous initiative, your patronage allows the continuation of our mission by directly supporting our charity, recycling and education programs.

The Bike Co-op keeps thousands of bikes out of our landfill each year while providing bikes for those who need them the most in our community.

On the same days as the bike sale we’ll be holding a kids bike swap.  Anyone can bring bikes in for this event.
-Get the outgrown kids bikes out of the garage and trade them “with a neighbor” for something useful.
-Beginning at 10 a.m. we’ll set aside a portion of our parking lot for a kids bike swap including:
-12, 16, 20 and 24 inch wheeled bikes (and small 26 inch or 27 inch bikes)
-Only Kids bikes please!
-Put a price tag on your bike, a “free” sign, or a “will trade for _______”
-By noon if you haven’t sold, traded or given your bike away, take it back to the garage OR donate it to the bike Co-op!  We’ll find a home for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two CSU departments are getting together to help promote health and increase energy awareness this Earth week.  For the entire week (April 18th-22nd) they will have energy producing stationary bicycles in the Lory Student Center Plaza.  The goal is to produce 15,000 Wh (15kWh) of electrical energy over the 5 days of the event.  This energy is going to be donated to BPEC and the Bike Co-op.  It represents about $3600 worth of electricity.  There is also a panel discussion on Friday (April 22nd) on Bike safety, employee biking rebates, and Bike rentals.

Please come out and support the Co-op by pedaling your heart out.
