Welcome
The Recyclery is a non-profit used-bicycle collective.
REOPENING AT 7628 PAULINA JULY 2
The Recyclery is proudly reopening in a fancy, new shop on Thursday, July 2. Thursday evening will be our first Women and Trans Night; our first Open Shop will take place on Sunday from 1-5pm. See our calendar for details!
Our next sale, probably in late July, will be posted here at a later date. If you would like a used bike before then, try Working Bikes or here. Check our calendar for Open Shop times to work on your own bike. Contact us for volunteer opportunities or to donate a bike. Want to support us financially? Donate here!

Progress
Lots of progress has been made!
We'll be opening shortly, and will keep this space updated when we do.
When we're open, we'll have open shops and volunteer hours but not sales. It will be a while until we have sales, as we don't currently have a supply of fixed bikes.

The Recyclery Collective is moving from our current basement space to a storefront in the North of Howard neighborhood. We're proud of this step and excited for opportunity for growth that it presents. The Evanston shop will be closed for the move beginning May 25th. Read about it in the Chi-Town Daily News

-Actually we got pretty much all of it. But we'll add more as we wind things down (if we need it)... Thanks to everyone that helped us get this place into shape!

Painting
Volunteers turned out all through mid-March to make the place look nice. We spackled, sanded, primed and painted.

Planning for the move
Don't be fooled by the gender imbalance here. Sharlyn has actually done immeasurable work on our move! She is joined by John, Paul and Alex.
Volunteer Alex Anon drew up this shop for us. He's also working on a new bench design!2009-04-01 15:42:48
