Bicycle Co-op WILLIAMSBURG COMMUNITY: The Co-Op promotes health and accessibility in the greater Williamsburg area by offering economical options to purchase bicycles. Almost 400 retail bikes were sold at approximately one third the cost of similar new bikes, supporting bicycle ridership in the community at large and covering the overhead costs of operating the Co-Op. SERVING THE UNDERSERVED: Over 40% of donated bikes were serviced and then given away for free to our voucher agencies and other community partners. Through the voucher program, clients receive not only a free bicycle, but a free helmet, light, and lock as well to help promote our clients' safety and security. We currently partner with 11 different social service agencies throughout James City County, York County, and City of Williamsburg to distribute bikes through our voucher program, and plans are underway to add even more agencies to the voucher program. The year culminated with our Christmas Kid Bike Giveaway where we gave away over 70 bicycles to local children served by our voucher agency partners. EDUCATION & MENTORSHIP: In June we implemented Do It Yourself (DIY) Repair Hours where the public can bring in their bike and use Co-Op bike stands, parts, and tools while being coached through repairs by our volunteer mechanics. In 7 months of offering we served over 100 DIY customers. We've also begun offering Basic Bike Maintenance Classes in partnership with JCC Parks and Rec, and are talking to Colonial Revolution, the local youth mountain biking club, about how we can support them through bike clinics and mentorship opportunities. This is an area we are looking to grow, and hope to be an educational hub for the community. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: In 2022, over 700+ pre-owned bicycles came through our shop and were kept out of landfills. Less than 5% of donated bikes were sent to the scrap yard for metal recycling. 70720 58811 Public bicycling events organized during May Is Bike Month. On the first weekend of May each year the annual Pedal the Parkway and Bikes Out of Hibernation event is held in partnership with the National Park Service (NPS), BikeWalk Williamsburg and Williamsburg Area Bicyclists. The NPS closes the Colonial Parkway to vehicular traffic and allow bicyclists and walkers unrestricted access along a seven mile route. Volunteers staffed educational bike safety and bicycle repair stations. 1960 1247 60058 John Steele Secretary 1 0 0 0 Nancy Carter Treasurer 2 0 0 0 Allen Turnbull Board Chair 2 0 0 0 Ted Hanson Director 15 0 0 0 Raul Zevallos Director 10 0 0 0 Bonnie Baffer Director 1 0 0 0 Jessica Stehle Director 2 0 0 0 Harold Philipsen Director 1 0 0 0 Debbie Lenceski Director 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 VA Jessica Stehle PO Box 222 Williamsburg VA 23187 8143313233 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 7419 5559 20645 16974 70720 121317 7419 5559 20645 16974 70720 121317 121317 3360 1200 9094 61335 75667 150656 271973 0.44606 0.49050 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 - Other income consists of sales of donated bicycles.
