Hello,
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce our local bicycle oriented cooperative/nonprofit community service organization where I volunteer. Our goal is to provide bicycles to those less fortunate. We have an “Earn-a-Bike” program for adults, a program for providing bikes to children and another to provide refugee youth with bikes. We also have day and evening classes in bike repair and maintenance.
Although we are a full service bike shop, we do not compete with local bike shops, but work in cooperation with them. There are cross referrals between our businesses. Essentially we address different markets and work together to help the community avoid the disappointment of “cheap” bikes.
Local donations and grants support us and our programs. We also sell used parts and refurbished bikes as well as some new parts and entry level bikes.
Our senior mechanics sometimes take on personal projects doing retro-mod type rebuilds to help the cash flow. See attached picture. I’ve also attached pictures of some specialty “as is” bikes that have been donated. Additionally, we have some vintage stuff; parts, frames and a few complete bikes.
If you happen to be in or passing through the Portland, OR metro area, you are invited to stop in and check us out.
