“When people come in, it’s those folks who don’t know anything about a bike and so we help them actually fix their own bikes, and they leave here so empowered and so amazed at what they have learned,” volunteer Jay Wilson said.

“And for the people that can’t afford to go to a high-end shop, we have some really fantastic deals here.”

The group is in need of a continuous supply of bikes as well as other components to keep the business running.

“We take donations of bikes, we take donations of parts and we take donations of muffins and fruit and all kinds of things to keep us going,” Wilson said.

“Not only are we providing bikes, but we are providing a place for the community to come and gather and learn skills.”
