Creating equitable access to bicycles for a thriving Boulder community
Community Cycles
PROJECT TYPE: GRAPHIC & WEBSITE DESIGN
Community Cycles is more than just a bike shop. It is a non-profit advocacy organization that’s mission is simple: get more people on bikes! CC achieves this through access, education, and advocacy.
At Community Cycles, I had the opportunity to create graphic and web designs for several grant-funded advocacy campaigns such as Earn-a-Bike and Ride by Ebike programs. From creating social media graphics and physical flyers to co-designing a State recognized Ebike Resource website, my work has helped engage Boulder’s cycling community.
Walk & bike month
June is national walk and bike month and also Community Cycle’s busiest month! CC hosts events, workshops, and bike rides every week in June. To prepare, I co-designed flyers, website home pages, social media posts and banners, and even merch to get the word out!
Ride by Ebike
MARKETING DIRECTOR - SANDEE CIRIAN
Ride by Ebike is a grant-funded initiative that aims to increase Ebike access and use. We do this by offering maintenance workshops, spreading awareness on State issued Ebike vouchers, and running a summer Ebike program for Boulder County residents.
With an increased interest in Ebikes, Community Cycles developed a landing page for all questions regarding “which Ebike is right for me” and “what local Ebike shops accept my voucher?”.
I co-designed this Ebike resource page that was recognized by both Boulder County and Colorado state for its user-friendly design.
Ebike Program Update
The 2023 Ebike Program was my favorite program I got the opportunity to help run at Community Cycles. After the program concluded, I wrote this blog to reflect on how the program went, and all the people who made it happen. The blog helped gain public awareness of Community Cycles and Colorado Ebike Initiatives.
Programming graphics
For programs such as Earn-a-bike, clear, eye-catching graphics were crucial to ensuring people could digest the information, especially if English is not their first language.
When creating handouts or posters, I opted for photos or graphics paired with bold colors and fonts to ensure the information was not overlooked.
By the numbers is a annual infographic shared with Community Cycles staff, members, and sponsors to showcase the positive impact CC has on Boulder’s community. I revamped the old “by the numbers” with a contrasting color palette that speaks to CC’s design language and makes the numbers pop off the page.
