OUR MISSION


Free Ride! is a non-profit recycle-a-bike shop that enables people of all ages to obtain, recycle, and maintain bicycles. Through educating people on how to recondition used, donated bicycles, we are putting forgotten bikes back on the streets in a reliable, safe condition. We aim to enhance the health of our community and environment by promoting active living and encouraging bicycle transportation.

Bicycle Donations are the pillar upon which Free Ride! rests - because without bicycles, where would we be? If you want to see our shop in action or need a reciept for a tax deduction, come in during our open shop hours:

Tuesday and Thursday 6-10PM
Saturdays 1-5PM
2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month from 6-10PM.

If you are not in need of a tax receipt you can bring the bicycles to Construction Junction during their open hours:

Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays 8-5PM
Wednesdays 8-7PM
Saturdays 9-5PM
Sundays 11-4PM.

We accept all kinds of bicycles: cruisers, road, mountain, kids and bmx bikes, but prefer them not to be piles of rust.  If the bike has tons of rusty parts and appears beyond repair, it probably is.  In this case, bring the bike(s) to a scrap yard, since this is where we are sending them.  For a list of scrapyards in the Pittsburgh area, click here.  If you have more than 15 adult bikes that you would like to donate we can arrange a pickup. Also if you know a good place to advertise for Free Ride bicycle donations, you can print out the donation sign and post it. We also accept bicycle parts, wheels, accessories, helmets, bike tools and regular tools like screwdrivers, wrenches (metric), ratchets etc.

We also accept monetary donations, which are used for shop supplies, rent, and purchase of new parts. Donations can be sent by check to:

Tax-Deductible Monetary Donations can also be made by Pay Pal through this website.
