Local nonprofit White Oak Bicycle Co-op (WOBC) has launched its newest way to help distribute free bicycles to its community partners.

Enter: The Bike Box, a refurbished shipping container donated and hosted by iFixit (a corporate partner of WOBC) at its East 12th Street facility.

The box houses bikes that have been donated to WOBC + are ready to be distributed. The space also includes tools and parts like locks, tubes, and tires for quick fixes.

Get ready to ride. There’s a review guide inside that outlines the right frame type + height range to ensure the correct size bike is selected for use. After selecting your bike, you simply fill out a checkout form and drop it in the designated basket.

Bonus: Community organizations that have a signed partnership agreement with WOBC are eligible to use the Bike Box during its operational hours. Folks interested in becoming partners can inquire via email.
