Founded in 2020 in Providence, RI, Lefty Loosey Bicycle Collective is a worker-run community bike shop maintaining a space for teaching and learning, repair, redistribution, and joy. Our core values are around racial, economic, gender, and environmental justice, and our intention is to serve as a platform for mutual aid and community-building. As a community "third space,” much of our work is oriented around making bicycles and the knowledge of their repair more accessible to all - so that any Rhode Islander can confidently and safely ride a bike, and that those who need access to bikes as basic transportation do. We hold weekly open repair hours in our shop at 50 Sims Avenue, Providence, where anyone can bring their bicycle and get help fixing it from a skilled mechanic at no cost. We regularly refurbish and redistribute dozens of free bicycles through community-based partner organizations to those in our communities who are most impacted by social determinants of health in Rhode Island, including clients of all ages at Clinica Esperanza, House of Hope, Project WEBER/Renew, and the Olneyville Neighborhood Association. And, we teach the fundamental mechanics of bike repair through our six-week class, which we run four or five times every year. Beyond our work with bicycles, we have hosted workshop series that include introductions to basic electrical work, sewing, power tools, and more.
