Lack of transportation outside the main cities makes it difficult for children to get to school, for adults to find work and for AIDS patients to get the medical attention they need. Bicycles make remote villages much more accessible, thereby improving the conditions of the inhabitants. In the interest of creating a long-term and self-sufficient improvement in the lives of these impoverished individuals, we endeavor to create a sustainable network of bicycle infrastructure, including the availability and affordability of bikes, widely available technical and repair know-how, and the availability of tools and necessary parts. Mikes Bikes Foundation has been working closely with local shop owners in Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho, Gaborone, Zimbabwe, Ghana and Kenya to provide the tools and capital necessary to start local bike shops. Of note, 1st female mechanic and shop owner has been successfully running her own business since 2021 in Lesotho. 0 0 0 59256 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 CA X Matt Adams 4154546921 55 Leveroni Ct Novato CA 94949 Matt Adams Treasurer/CFO 5 X 0 0 0 Julie Todd Secretary 5 X 0 0 0 Justin Lamb President/CEO 5 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 185100 85000 185100 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 185100 0 0 0 X 0 59256 59256 66017 66017 0 125273 59256 66017 0 78662 103489 5000 40000 83662 143489 0 0 X 83662 143489 0 0 83662 143489 83662 143489 59827 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 321858 193665 251833 313543 185100 1265999 321858 193665 251833 313543 185100 1265999 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1265999 0 0 0 0 0 0 321858 193665 251833 313543 185100 1265999 1 1 0 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Sub-Saharan Africa To provide financing 0 NA 85000 Provide Bikes Fair Market Value 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X Used Bikes 400 40000 Estimated Fair Market Value X Used cycling equipment 900 45000 Estimated Fair Market Value 0 0 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 Directors are coworkers for an unrelated organization Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b IRS 990 and CA 199 are provided to and reviewed by the directors prior to filing Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 IRS 990 and CA 199 are made available upon request Form 990, Part IX, Line 11g Bank Service Charges $50 Business Registration Fees $359 Outside Contract Services $55,000 Books and Subscriptions $859 Travel and Meetings $9,749
