Gearin' Up Bicycles

We Do

Gearin’ Up Bicycles, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is a community used bicycle store training and employing young adults from underserved communities in Washington D.C. There will be a (used) bicycle show room up front and a mechanic shop in the back, and we will sell quality, affordable used bicycles in addition to basic bicycle tools and accessories. Bicycle donations via ongoing in-store donations, bike drives and fundraisers will ensure a constant supply for our mechanic staff to tune-up or rebuild and prepare for sale. Sales representatives and mechanic staff will be teenagers hired from underserved communities. These staff members will gain the skills they need to succeed in their future with Gearin’ Up and beyond while providing the community with quality, affordable used bicycles.
