Get Involved

The Tampa Bike Co-op is just that, a cooperative effort. Any donation of time, energy, creative idea, input, or hard goods are very much appreciated. Come down to one of Bike Nights and share some of your knowledge.

If you would like a more directed way to help here are some suggestions.

Cash Donations: Currently, we are accepting cash/check donations at our Bike Nights and any time we are publically in the community. We will eventually have a paypal account set up so it will be easier for you to make a donation. We run as a 501(c)3 for those of you with tax concerns.

Part Donations: We accept donations of any bike parts and tools that you may want to send our way. Check the wants/needs list for specific items we might need!

Mechanics: We are always looking for those who have some mechanical knowledge pertaining to bicycles and who are confident in their ability to help and teach others.

Workshop leaders: This is someone who wants to lead a small group in learning a specific skill

Food: We always try to provide meals/food for our volunteers and those who show up. Bringing something is a nice gesture and a great way to show your appreciation.

Spreading the word: You can download and print our flier, then share it with whomever you’d like. Just keep in mind we love trees just as much as bikes, so go easy on the printing.

Always in demand:

We welcome any and all donations both cycling-related and for basic upkeep. Once our legal non-profit status is established, you will be able to make tax-deductible donations.

We are also in need of legal advice. If you have any experience with non-profit organizations, please contact us.

While we thank you all for your generous bicycle-related donations – and please, keep them coming – it takes a lot more than parts to run the Co-Op.
