Silver Stallion Bicycle & Coffee Works
Our mission is to educate and empower youth and young adults in the bicycle mechanic and specialty coffee service industries.
Our vision is to see kids develop agency and flourish within positive relationships, healthy lifestyles, and skill development.
Our goal is to combine industry leading programs and community networks to foster the next generation of riders, young professionals, and community leaders.
Our why is that our regional youth face unique challenges creating and taking steps toward dreams. Many basic resources (like bike shops!) are absent in our area. Through strategic partnerships and creating dynamic solutions, barriers often inhibiting kids from flourishing can be overcome.
Bicycle Collective
The mission of the Bicycle Collective is to promote cycling as an effective and sustainable form of transportation and recreation, and a cornerstone of a cleaner, healthier, and safer society. We provide refurbished bicycles and educational programs to the community focusing on children and lower income households.
