Volunteering & Community Support: provides safe and reliable bicycles and/or repairs for those who lack financial resources. This is accomplished through individuals volunteering to earn credits that can be used in exchange for bicycles, parts, tools & accessories; and through our Pay What You Can program, which redirects donations to those with a demonstrated need. In 2024 we supported 84 unique Pay What You Can customers with $23,523 in bikes, parts, cycling gear, and/or repairs. We also gave $9,756 in used merchandise, time in our community bike repair shop, and bike repair class tuition in exchange for volunteer credits.
