Thanks to everyone who donated to our Giving Tuesday fundraiser! We're
almost a fifth of the way to our $5,000 goal and are extending the
fundraiser through the end of the year. Please consider making a donation

In 2022, The Bike Project's volunteers have been rebuilding our
cooperatively owned community bike shop after the prolonged closures caused
by COVID in 2020 and 2021. In the last year, we

(Women, Trans, Femme, and Nonbinary) Night on the second Monday of each
month
[image: 🔧] gave away 60 kids bikes in December 2021 during our annual
holiday Kids Bike Giveaway (which we're also currently organizing for 2022)
[image: 🔧] refurbished kids bikes for the children of immigrant families
at Leal Elementary School
[image: 🔧] fundraised for high-quality lights and locks for Afghan
refugees, in collaboration with The Refugee Center
[image: 🔧] raised funds for and distributed bike lights to underserved CU
communities and coordinated with community partners to provide continued
access to them
[image: 🔧] rebuilt a commuter bike for a community member who had lost
theirs in an accident, in partnership with Cunningham Township
[image: 🔧] donated 200+ bicycles to Working Bikes to provide communities
in South and Central America and Africa with access to bikes and parts
[image: 🔧] organized community spring and summer rides

But, even with our volunteers hustling and building bikes to keep the shop
open, we need your help meeting our bottom line for the year and keeping
our momentum going into 2023.

The Bike Project is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and donations are
tax-deductible. Please make your contribution now at the link below (or use
