Program accomplishments

  • Retail and repair shop level services for underserved riders: Lowertown Bike Shop focused it's efforts on providing a welcoming and educational experience to all forms of underserved riders. The bicycle industry defines an affordable bike as one costing below $1,000. LBS served populations of female, low income, racially diverse, homeless, mentally ill, developmentally disabled, urban commuter, and novice riders, many with a budget of less than $500. Many of these communities have been underserved by the bicycle industry. We have provided for these populations by supplying new and used bikes that fit all body types, riding styles, and every budget. We also accommodate these riders by custom building for their needs and budgets, often utilizing used parts and bikes. Lowertown Bike Shop built custom bikes to meet the needs of 51 people in 2024. Of those people, LBS donated 6 used bikes at no cost to the individual. LBS also supplied free and/or reduced cost bikes, parts, and services to 13 individuals in demonstrated need.
    Expenses $144,590 · revenue $162,921
  • Recycling and Reuse: Lowertown Bike Shop is dedicated to sustainability in the bicycling community. We have refurbished or found a home for over 164 used bikes in 2024. We have saved hundreds of bikes from the landfill by keeping a stock of used bikes waiting to be fixed and rehabilitated for riders in need of a budget-friendly bike. Bikes that otherwise would have ended up in the trash. We participated in community clean up events processing, recycling, and salvaging 61 bikes. We recycled at least 4,605 pounds of scrap metal that would have ended up in the landfill, and recycled 280 tires and 413 tubes through our on-site recycling program.
    Expenses $38,435 · revenue $43,148
  • Educational and training services to employees and volunteers: Lowertown Bike Shop's volunteer program clocked a total of 546 volunteer hours. LBS allowed individuals to work off community service, or help fulfill an unemployment or school requirement. LBS also continued providing jobs and competitive wages in their community. They have made it a part of their training to educate their employees and volunteers in basic maintenance, fit, riding styles, bicycle recycling and reuse, barista and coffee service, and sales through education in a welcoming environment. They provide individuals the necessary skills to seek future employment in industries that require experience for hire.0
