Mission Statement
Because we believe bicycles are the most affordable, sustainable, efficient, healthy, environmentally friendly, FUN, and liberating form of transportation and recreation, the Derailer Bicycle Collective aims to teach and share knowledge about bikes and bike maintenance to anyone and everyone. We operate a communal, volunteer-run bike shop on the West side of Denver complete with bicycles, tools, parts and skills-free and open to anyone who desires to use it. The shop seeks to promote bike use, self-empowerment and education by giving people free access to everything they need to repair and maintain their own bicycles, and also provide an opportunity for Denver's bike-less to build or borrow one.
Because we believe that our culture is unnecessarily wasteful and overly-dependent on cars, we save bicycles that have been discarded, abandoned, neglected, or otherwise rendered unused, and try to get them back out on the roads again.
Because many commercial bike shops (and commercialism in general) are over-priced, self-satisfying, inaccessible or generally unfriendly to most people, Derailer Bicycle Collective values people and bicycles for their abilities and potential, rather than their monetary denomination, re-sale value or labor wage, and is not only tolerant but respectful and welcoming to everyone regardless of race, gender, class, sexuality, or age.
