ABOUT YBP The Austin Yellow Bike Project (YBP) is a community supported ALL-VOLUNTEER 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing human-powered transportation for the people of Austin, running a community bike shop, and educating kids and adults. People-power is a way to limit the traffic congestion of a rapidly growing city. It also provides a sane, inexpensive, and sustainable alternative to the reliance on motor vehicles. Our project promotes cleaner air, land, and water, while encouraging people to meet their transportation needs through an active lifestyle and community participation.
We currently maintain two Yellow Bike Community Bike Shops that are available as a free educational facility open to anyone who wants to learn about fixing and riding bikes. At the Yellow Bike Shop, we don't fix your bike for you; instead, we show you how to fix it yourself. Our Main Shop has eleven work-stations outfitted with tools, repair manuals, bicycle parts, and a warehouse of lonely bikes just waiting to be fixed up and given a new life. The Treasure City Satellite Shop has two work-stands and enough tools and parts to do most basic repairs, but it's not equipped to build a bike from the frame up. We have many active and past projects aimed at getting people on bikes. We target projects to help children and those without the means of purchasing bikes. View our Projects Page for more details. So take a look around the site and come visit our shops during open hours. We have been an all volunteer organization since we started in 1997. We support our project through abundant volunteer time and donated bikes and money. For more information check out our Participate, Donate, and Q and A pages.
