ADVOCACY

Organizations & Events LBC Supports

Longmont Bicycle Company is heavily involved in the cycling community, as well as advocacy efforts. Below are some example organizations and events we partner with, support or sponsor.

NICA (National Interscholastic Cycling Association)

Longmont Bicycle Co. donates $10 to NICA for every Trek full-suspension mountain bike we sell. Trek then matches that $10 donation, putting $20 towards NICA for each of those full-suspension bikes sold from our shop. Additionally, Longmont Bicycle & Coffee Co. supports our local chapter by giving all kids and coaches 25% off the purchase of new bikes. Want to learn more about this awesome program?

Bicycle Longmont is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization comprised solely of volunteers and is dedicated to making bicycling safer and more enjoyable in Longmont, Colorado. Their goal is to get more people on bikes more often through education, encouragement, and advocacy. The Kids' Holiday Bike Program is one of Bicycle Longmont's highlight programs that Longmont Bicycle & Coffee Co. is heavily involved in.
