Community Arts and Recreation Alliance

The Community Arts and Recreation Alliance (CARA) is a Port Townsend, WA based non-profit and oversees two dba’s: The Jefferson County ReCyclery, and the Port Townsend Cycle School. Our mission is to promote bicycle use for a healthier and more sustainable community. We are collectively engaged in transforming the local and regional culture so that bicycles are embraced as the preferred form of transportation. We promote a cycling culture by recycling used bikes and making refurbished bikes affordable, putting as many people on bikes as possible, educating those who want to learn about cycling and bike maintenance, and empowering people of all ages to ride more often, safer and further!
