After years of getting bikes into the hands of our neighbors, Bike Buddies is facing an unexpected detour. Our lease ends December 31, 2026, and we're looking for a new home in The Heights.
Bike Buddies believes everyone deserves the freedom, independence, and joy of riding a bicycle, regardless of income. Thanks to our incredible community of volunteers and donors, we've helped hundreds of bikes find new homes.
Now, we need your help finding ours.
1. Help Us Find a New Home
Our current lease is ending abruptly on December 31, and we're searching for:
Free temporary space where we can store bikes, tools, and equipment while we find a permanent home.
A long-term, affordable lease in The Heights, ideally with room for bike storage, repairs, and community programming.
Have a vacant garage, warehouse, storefront, or other space? Know a property owner who might want to support our mission?
We'd love to hear from you! Contact us here.
2. Bike Donations Are Temporarily Paused
Our community has been incredibly generous with donated bicycles, but until we secure a new space, we cannot accept additional bike donations.
Please hold onto those bikes for now! We hope to resume donations as soon as we have a new home.
3. Help Us Lighten the Load — Take Home a Bike!
Moving a bike shop is no small feat, especially when it's full of bicycles waiting for their next adventure.
We're inviting the community to help us clear out our inventory and put more bikes on the road!

This Isn't the End of the Road
Bike Buddies is more than a physical space. We're a community that believes bikes can change lives, build connections, and make Hood River a better place to live.
We've got the bikes, the volunteers, and the passion. Now we just need a place to call home.
Please share this post, spread the word, and help us keep Hood River rolling.
