The Recyclery

The Recyclery A collective-operated educational bike shop. Our Vision
We envision a diverse, resilient neighborhood filled with knowledgeable, self-reliant cyclists.

About Us
Our Mission
The Recyclery Collective is an educational bike shop that promotes sustainability by giving access to tools, skills, and opportunities for collaboration. Our Values
Collaboration: We create opportunities for people of all backgrounds to work, share, and learn together to support a practical form of transportation. Social Justice: We provide tools and resources to empower under

served populations and nurture community leaders. Ecological Sustainability: We encourage the mindful use of resources and promote cycling as a part of building more resilient communities. Celebrating Everything We Do: We like to have fun while working hard to make bicycles and mechanics accessible. Our Structure
The Recyclery is a 501c3 non-profit. All major decisions are made by a quorum of collective members at a twice-a-month meeting. Decisions are made by consensus and the collective is open to anyone willing to put in the time and effort to fulfill collective entry requirements. A few staff members are paid for administrative tasks, fixing bikes for sale, and teaching classes. Regular volunteers fix bikes that we give away and help during Open Shop.

Chicago stands with Alex Pretti and all who have been killed, abducted, and brutalized by ICE.

Please join the Chibike community for a solidarity ride this Saturday, Jan 31. We meet at 1:15 at Walsh Park (eastern end of the 606) and roll at 1:30.

Alex was one of us, could’ve been any of us, so as we mourn, all of us can come together in unity to remember Alex for who he was—a kind and caring soul put on this earth to be the light for others. Although his light has been extinguished by this fascist regime, it hasn’t been lost. If anything, those sparks fell and ignited something in us that’s been hiding all along. We are stronger together, and they can’t take us all.

Thank you for the words and inspiration.
