It's Good Clean Fun!

In June of 2009 the city ordered 1304bikes to cease operations at its then base-of-operations on Mayview Rd. (see here for details). Since that time we have held a number of mobile clinics in Raleigh parks, but without a way to continue to accept bicycle donations, our stores have become depleted, so even our mobile shops have become difficult. We have not ruled out an occasional mobile clinic or bike repair/maintenance education session, but without more bicycle donations, a space to keep them, and a space to work out of, we have been forced to suspend all of our normal programs.

If you would like to help 1304bikes get back on track, please feel free to contact us. Donations of time, money, and expertise are very welcome. Bicycles and bicycle parts cannot be accepted at this time as we have no place to store them.

A brochure which includes more background and history of the organization is also available for download.

Programs

Mobile Repair Clinics:
A couple times a month, we wheel the shop to one lucky local community.
Earn-A-Bike:
This gets a person a free bike for themself, enough knowledge to keep it running, and often-times a bit more.
Kid-A-Bike:
Sometimes bikes lose or get out-grown by their kids. We often have a good supply of 20-inch or smaller (non-BMX), but not enough manpower to guide the very young ones in repair (nor do they have the patience ;-).
Volunteer your time:
Help others build bikes, and to help us organize and store parts in our shop. First read our shop guidelines to get a handle on our procedures. And please note: this is a community effort, and we need your help on many tasks, but we kindly ask that you refrain from directing others in build-n-repair tasks here until we familiarize you with appropriate methods.
Women and Trans Folks Bike Night:
Roadmaster™ Repurposing:
We have many parts available from damaged bikes. We encourage artisans, welding artists, tinkerers, human-powered vehicle or alternative energy experimenters to exploit our blue bin for frame parts, cranks, rims and bearings that are otherwise destined for metal recycling.
Donate your bike,
so that it is recycled to its highest purpose rather than buried in a landfill.
