Here's what's going on at B4H!

/

We've been working hard to get our space ready to re-open to customers and volunteers. We've also continued to accept donated bikes, fix them up, and get them back out to folks with the help of a few remote volunteers and our dedicated staff. We've taken in over 200 bikes and had over a bike a day adopted this year: 40 bikes granted with locks and helmets to folks in need, and 150 bikes sold at affordable sliding scale rates.

What the future looks like.

We want to keep our used bike factory up and running, taking in clunkers and cranking out well-tune machines, but we also want to bring back our educational, volunteering, and community-oriented programming. We need volunteers

  • interested in hosting our space, working on bikes, and sorting donations

  • curious about board membership and leading a small nonprofit

  • who want to help coordinate community engagement

Interested in volunteering? Please fill out this form to let us know what you all are interested in doing and what kind of organization you want B4H to become.

Interested in board membership? Read more here about what that role entails, and fill out our interest form if you'd like to learn more or take the next steps to membership. A few positions opened up over the last year and we weren't able to actively recruit new members--we need your help!
