Why this petition matters

Started by Brian Lacy

Thanks for your interest in this just cause! Please consider taking a moment to leave a note as to WHY you support saving Citybikes. Below are links to the GoFundMe legal drive and more. THANKS!!

After 36 years of serving Portland's diverse cycling community, there is a crisis confronting Citybikes and its community that with support we can protect the investments made over decades by a loyal community and over 50 past owners who 'paid it forward' to owners following them, rather than see the shop get unnecessarily shuttered.


Citybikes Co-op has been serving tens of thousands of people for decades. It has helped people of moderate means be healthy, reduce air pollution and help calm our streets. It has held classes to teach people how to service their own bikes. Prior workers have started other businesses and organizations including Oly Bikes, Community Cycling Center, Bike Central, Math LLC and Growing Gardens.

Here are a few other ways to help save Citybikes:

1. Contact the shop. Send cordial "Please abandon Bob and join Noel in saving Citybikes" support letters to both Bryce and Claire. These are the four owners:, Noel, Bob, Bryce and Claire, and where they stand. You can call in your message to 503.239.0553 (ONLY if you're nice, please. Don't harass.) or to this email. Please send a copy to us here for record keeping? Thanks! Snail mail is 1914 SE Ankeny St, Portland, OR 97214.

2. Join and share the Go Fund Me legal drive.

3. Print-to-post some PDF flyers in your neighborhood.

4. Join friendly direct actions / spread the word through Facebook, Twitter & Instagram.

5. Share Instagram-ready PNG color flyer.

6. Send us an email about anything related anytime.
