Redemptive Cycles, the beloved non-profit bicycle shop is moving to a much larger building and space in Birmingham.

After a decade on 2nd Avenue North, the group is moving a few blocks west to 906 1st Avenue North.

Redemptive Cycles expanding

“This building is going to give us about twice the square footage that we currently have, which will give us a lot more room to work. If you’ve been inside Redemptive Cycles, there are bikes everywhere. This will give us a lot more room to do our day to day tasks without having to play a “Jenga game” of bicycles to do whatever task we’re trying to do.”

Brian Gosdin, Executive Director, Redemptive Cycles

In addition to giving them more room to work on bikes, the building is more volunteer-friendly than the old space.

This will also enable the group to expand their programming which includes offering very high quality but affordable bicycles to the general public and for people who can’t afford a bicycle, offer a free bicycle that can be paid for through service hours.

Redemptive Cycles: Bike rides every Thursday

Want to get involved with Redemptive Cycles? Join them every Thursday night for an event called Trample. The group gathers around 6:00PM and rides from 5-10 miles to a Birmingham park and back. Cyclists will leave from the current 1305 2nd Avenue North site until June.

Gosdin told us why this is a great weekly event.

“Get involved socially, learn about the organization, and get back on your bike and ride if you’ve not ridden in a long time. We’ve also got some rental bikes. So if you kind of want to just test the waters and see if it’s something you’re into, this is a good night to do it.”
