Overview

Mission

Promotes bicycle use and safety

What it reported doing in 2025

Create community access to reclaimed bicycles and bicycle repair skills as a means of affordable transportation, self-sufficiency and wellness

Operating model

Revenue model: Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model: Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
