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
[image: 🔧] expanded open hours from one day to four, and resumed WTFNB
(Women, Trans, Femme, and Nonbinary) Night on the second Monday of each
month
[image: 🔧] gave away 50 kids bikes in December 2022 during our annual
holiday Kids Bike Giveaway
[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.
