As an alternative to a referral from a partner organization, we offer opportunities for adults and youth to earn a Freecyclery bike through our Earn-a-Bike Fellowship programs.

A non-refundable tuition of $50 covers the cost of a lock and helmet for the fellow. The tuition also covers select new bike parts that expedite the process of refurbishing the bike that is being earned. If an Earn-A-Bike fellow wants to further customize their bike AFTER refurbishing it to Recyclery safety standards, they may do so at their own expense during Open Shop.

To begin, complete the Volunteer Application. You’ll receive an email from our Volunteer Coordinator. Please reply expressing your interest in being put on the Earn-A-Bike Fellowship wait list. We will reach out to you when a spot opens up for you in the program.

Adults are able to work towards Earn-a-bike time during our Volunteer Hours:

  • Monday 12pm – 3pm
  • Tuesday 7pm – 9pm
  • Wednesday 6pm – 8pm
  • Thursday 10am – 1pm
