Drop-In Volunteers

Volunteers join us week after week, to be part of a community of bike enthusiasts and to benefit the Community Cycling Center. Drop-In Volunteers support almost every aspect of our organization, cleaning and repairing Holiday Bike Drive bicycles, preparing materials for our Bike Clubs, harvesting parts from donated bicycles and much more.

Volunteer Groups

Are you looking for a rewarding, team-building activity for your employees or group? We host dozens of volunteer groups from supporting organizations and businesses, including Hands on Greater Portland, Wieden + Kennedy, The Bike Gallery, REI, Nike, Kaiser-Permanente, the Portland Wheelmen Touring Club and many more.

Bike Collections

Building a bike collection event is an easy and significant way to help out the Community Cycling Center. Mobilize your neighborhood or workplace to collect donated bicycles for our innovative programs.

Holiday Bike Drive

Over 1,000 volunteers help us make the Holiday Bike Drive happen, collecting, cleaning, repairing and giving out 500 bikes to children from low-income families. Whether it is cleaning and repairing bikes or helping a child choose their very first helmet and bicycle, we will help you find the perfect opportunity to support this wonderful event.
