Troy Bike Rescue

At Troy Bike Rescue, you can either give a sliding scale Suggested Donation for a used bicycle, or you can chose to Learn & Earn for a bike. 

ADOPT A BIKE

Refurbished bicycles are available for adoption for a donation on a sliding scale.  Bikes are grouped into 3 categories ($15-30, $30-60, and $60-100), depending on quality and labor spent.  Adoption Bikes are available on a first come first serve basis.

All proceeds from bike adoption fees pay TBR overhead.  Without your donations, we cannot do what we do.

LEARN & EARN

Youth and adults can 'learn & earn' to obtain a bike by putting in 6 Learn & Earn hours working on Adoption Bikes and other TBR projects. A participant must earn 3 chainrings to obtain a bike.  Learn and Earn hours can be done during open shop hours (for adults) and youth hours (under 16).

Your First Chainring is earned when you have simply filled out a permission slip (if under 18), gotten your photo taken, and have received a brief introduction to the TBR space and philosophy.

Your Second Chainring is earned when you have completed your first 3 hours of TBR Learn & Earn time.  You are now  eligible to begin looking for a bike for yourself.

Your Third Chainring is earned when you have completed your second 3 Learn & Earn hours (a total of 6). Congratulations, you are ready to finish your bike!!
