About Greenway Gear Collective

The Bike Library provides the tools, resources, and space for Greenway Gear Collective to serve the community.

Greenway Gear Collective (GGC) is a nonprofit dedicated to providing an inlet to the cycling community through Education, Community Building, and Bike Repair.

What we do

Education

We provide workshops, classes, and resources (like this site!) to make a life on bikes more accessible. Whether it's one of our monthly Basic Bike Maintenance workshops, a skills clinic, or a blog post on how to choose a good route to get to the grocery store via bike, we aim to educate and demystify the world of bikes.

Community Building

We host weekly, monthly and annual rides + events. Our weekly rides include casual-paced social rides to encourage more people to get out on the roads. Monthly events include the Basic Bike Maintenance workshop, Adventure Series events, and Raleigh Critical Mass. Annual events include the Triangle 200, Bike Month, and more. Check out our calendar for more details.

Bike Repair

Sometimes, the only thing standing in the way of a nice bike ride is a flat tire, a squeaky brake, or a rusty chain. We work with The Bike Library to offer a full menu of bike repair services to get you out on the trails.

What's in a name?

Greenway

Anywhere that human-powered transportation dominates. Rail trail? Yes! Multi-use path? Totally. Bike lane? Say less. I-95? No.

Gear

The gears on our bikes help us explore the world, and the gear we use helps us live a human-powered life year round. We teach our members how to use, maintain and love their gear.

Collective

The only way we can change the world is through collective effort. Our strength is in our members. Come as you are!
