Read MoreThe Boxville effort began in 2014 with a single shipping container — the Bronzeville Bike Box. The Bike Box offers neighbors and commuters with bike sales and repair services, meeting their needs for transportation and community. Boxville was born in 2017 out of the overwhelming support of the Bike Box concept with the addition of 4 shipping containers and the recruitment of 15 local businesses.
