DENVER — To lovers of life on two wheels in Denver, a bicycle shop in the Lincoln Park neighborhood looks a lot like Santa’s workshop.
Outside the shop are plenty of reworked and refurbished bikes for adults and kids priced well below what can be found at big box retailers. Inside the shop are tons of bike parts made new again for anyone looking for an affordable option to replace a worn chain, busted tire or deflated tube.

“About 20% of our kids today are free and reduced lunch and don't have access to a bicycle, or don't own a bicycle,” shared Cowgill. “So something that we're working on and we're struggling with is how do we get bicycles to those kids.” Cowgill, who picked up the bikes, hopes the school can get more bikes so other Brown International Academy students will have the same opportunities to experience the positive physical and mental health benefits of bicycling.
“It’s open for women, trans folks, nonbinary folks, anybody who wants to have a safe space to learn about bike mechanics,” said Bohannan. “We love cultivating a vibrant, equitable bike community.”
