An update on 2021 Gears and Beers:

Dear Faithful Riders and Delta Bike Project Supporters, it is with a heavy heart that we again announce the cancellation of Gears and Beers. We have been closely monitoring the situation, as well as being in contact with medical professionals. The situation with Covid-19 is alarming and frightening in our area and many others around the southeast. The situation in our hospitals and in our medical community is dire, and we stand with them in not being a contributor to the larger Covid-19 problem. We again feel strongly that canceling our event the right course of action. As we stated last year, we pride ourselves on hosting the highest quality cycling experience, and we prioritize our guests and volunteers safety and health above anything else. We are not able to ensure that safety that due to these unprecedented times in our communities. Putting on Gears and Beers is a long process of careful planning and fundraising for our small non-profit, the Delta Bike Project, and our core group of dedicated volunteers. It’s been a very hard year for us, and we know it has been for you, too. We have focused on continuing to provide bike repair to support to our Mobile community, and have seen over 500 clients with careful safety protocols. We hope and pray that you stay well and safe. We will miss all of your smiling faces at 5:30am, and seeing you return triumphant from your ride for a big party. Please consider getting vaccinated, if you haven’t already, so we can collectively return to fun (and crowded) events and gathering safely as a bike community. If you’d like to make a contribution to support our volunteer-led organization in lieu of participating in our major fundraiser, we would love your consideration: https://www.deltabikeproject.org/support/

With peace and love,
The Gears and DBP Team

Support the DBP – Delta Bike Project Support the DBP Volunteer mechanic, Hirotake Ohta, helps a visitor learn how to repair his brakes. During the COVID-19 pandemic, our organization was hit hard, both for our volunteers and our operations. We are grateful for the support of the Mobile community, as well as the biking community around....

Today is ! Please consider a donation of any amount to support our program! Our goal today is to raise *$1000* to replenish our basic parts, supplies and tools to support community bicycle repair (tubes, chains, cables, housing, brake pads, cleaning supplies. Despite Covid-19 challenges, we are still fixing bicycles by appointment in order to keep our volunteers and clients as safe as possible! Since April, our volunteers have taken more than 150 appointments to help community members (adults and kids) with basic bicycle repair, provided countless refurbished kid's bikes to families in need, and provided low cost bike sales to reduce the barriers to obtaining bicycle transportation. Thank you for considering us!

Happy Veteran’s Day to all of our Veteran supporters, clients and volunteers! Special shout out to our favorite Veteran, Dan Friedline - fantastic mechanic, hardest working volunteer, and all around great guy! Thanks for all you do for us!

Thank you for your continued donations during this difficult time! These young men were in need of bicycles, and we were able to outfit all four with the correct size bicycles (and helmets). They were so pleased with their “new” rides. **Please note that we will continue our appointment only system until further notice due to COVID-19. This helps us keep our volunteers and clients as safe as possible and reduce crowds at the shop. Send a message to this page to request an appointment!**

Update on Gears and Beers 2020...

Dear Faithful Riders and Delta Bike Project Supporters -

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the cancellation of Gears and Beers 2020. With the rising COVID-19 infection rates in Mobile, and the areas and states surrounding us, we feel strongly that its the right course of action. We pride ourselves on hosting the highest quality cycling experience, and we prioritize your safety and health. This year, we are not able to provide that due to these unprecedented times in our communities. Putting on Gears and Beers is a year long process of careful planning and fundraising for our small non-profit, Delta Bike Project, and our core group of dedicated volunteers. Our goal is to come back in 2021 stronger and better than we have ever been for our 7th year. We hope and pray that you stay well and safe, and come back to ride with us next year. We will miss all of your smiling faces at 5:30am, and seeing you return triumphant from your ride for a big party.

Until next year,
Jenn Greene and our Gears Team

Smile with your eyes, little guy!

Thank you, Dan!
