WE-CYCLE-USA Inc.

Our Mission

To help kids and adults in need through the recycling of used bicycles while promoting the use of bicycles as an environmentally friendly form of transportation. We provide the tools, supplies and knowledge necessary to recycle, maintain and safely operate bicycles. We believe by teaching people to recycle, repair and maintain bicycles we empower them and promote independence.

History

WE-CYCLE-USA was started in 2008 from the home of our founder Robert Chacon. As a Vocational Rehabilitation provider Robert started fixing bikes in his garage to give to his clients. Robert fixed and provided bicycles to his clients with disabilities to promote independence and enable them to get to and from work. As the years past, through word of mouth the demand for these bicycles grew, it became apparent that the garage was no longer going to be able to accommodate the future needs of this community. In 2010 we opened our first community cycling center in Mesa, Arizona. Where we helped the community fix, maintain and safely operate recycled bicycles. Through the years our community cycling centers have been able to teach bicycle safety, mechanical skills, and the importance of recycling bicycles. We believe by teaching kids and adults to recycle, maintain and safely operate their own bicycles, we promote independence, awareness and help the environment. Our latest shop opened on October of 2017, and is back in Mesa, Arizona. This time, WE-CYCLE-USA has partnered with CDP/ El Rancho Community and their residents. Not only have we been able to tap in on this brand-new growing community, we have also been able to secure our new facility with a 17-year lease at a significantly reduced rate. We believe this opportunity will enable us to do greater good for more people as we strengthen and grow our organization. WE-CYCLE-USA has worked with the cities of Mesa, Phoenix, Tempe, Gilbert, Chandler, Scottsdale, Glendale and Peoria. Since the grand opening of our first bicycle center we have watched Arizona grow and embrace the cycling community through its expanded bike paths, bike share program and numerous community cycling events. We are very excited to have this opportunity, to once again work with the City of Mesa and surrounding communities. We believe that our mission to help people in need and promote cycling while being environmentally aware is right in line with that of the El Rancho community and the City of Mesa.
