About this organization
Mission
To demystify and normalize bike riding as a part of daily life and realize the bicycle as a tool of personal and community empowerment.
About
2019 Open Shop Program (DIY Bike Shop):? The Open Shop Area is the heart of Second Cycle, where people come together in a learning and working environment. Open 250 days a year, the space is a lifeline for those dependent upon their bike for daily transportation. We help people keep biking to where they need to go, whether that be to their job, to social services, to meet a cycling goal, or to strengthen their self-reliance and mechanical ability. We operate the community tool space at an extremely affordable rate. Those experiencing homelessness and self-declared low income can access the space on a pay what you can sliding scale. Youth under the age of 18 are also free to use the space. The community tool shop is more than a collection of tools, it's a community center where people gather around the bicycle as a common interest. ?The open shop program also hosts a variety of activities, including ?WTF Night, which is a free monthly event for women/femme/LBGTQ folx to come together and work on bikes! Participants have access to all full-service bicycle repair tools and supplies, and there is always a certified mechanic present to offer repair advice, guidance, and demonstrations. Bringing a bike to work on is encouraged but not necessary. Participants show up on a drop-in format. Although we make our space an LBGTQ friendly space all the time, the purpose of this program is to hold exclusive space for people who might not be traditionally represented in bike shop spaces. We are a recycle reuse organization as well. We had a total of 1,056 bikes donated last year, and we had a total of 1,548 volunteer hours in 2019.
