BICAS began with Tucson community members involved in the international Bikes Not Bombs movement in the 1980s, sending bicycles to support Nicaraguan empowerment through transportation access, in opposition to the United States-backed bombing. As BICAS’ focus grounded locally to addressing this same need in Tucson, the bicycle as a tool for liberation has remained key in fortifying not only our local communities, but in opposing the United States’ bombing of communities overseas for oil right now.

We urgently need your help.

For over 36 years, BICAS has been a place where anyone could go to gain access to bikes, bike parts, bike repair, mechanics education and art. We have built a beautiful and much needed community resource where all are welcome, children can thrive through bike education, and low-income individuals can quickly gain access to resources needed to maintain their employment, housing, healthcare and access essential community resources. We take our commitment to this community very seriously, but at this time we are in a financial crisis and need your help.

In 2025, BICAS was owed $106,000 through a government funded grant, but this money was not paid out and then spent by the city of Tucson, causing BICAS much financial uncertainty. In 2026, several ongoing funders have been unable to provide grants due to the decreasing amount of federal funding available and drastic changes to the nonprofit funding landscape. These combined have immensely impact our small organization and as a result BICAS is at risk of closing or pausing our operations.

This shift means that we are more reliant on financial donations, and money raised in our bike shop. We are urgently asking you to consider making a donation to our organization in order to preserve bicas and ensure we can remain a resource for years to come. Any support you can offer is deeply appreciated and needed.

With much gratitude and love,
The BICAS Collective
