OUR MISSION: To demystify and normalize bike riding as a part of daily life, and realize the bicycle as a tool for personal and community empowerment. Bicycle Services Our organization fulfills its mission by offering the community affordable bikes, parts, and services. In our unique bike shop, we provide services not found elsewhere in our community and sell approximately 500 used bikes each year. Pedal It Forward In 2024, 2nd Cycle performed critical transportation-focused bike repairs, including 304 donated repairs to keep community members rolling safely. In keeping with 2nd Cycle?s mission, we provide free or low-cost bike repairs to needy individuals, helping keep our community moving safely regardless of financial circumstances. Pedal For The People Our bike gifting program, "Pedals For the People," gave away functioning bicycles to individuals who rely on cycling for essential transportation. We are proud of our work in distributing bikes to community members who rely on them for crucial transit but cannot afford one. Youth Programs Just Riding Around (JRA): A Teen Destination-Riding Program Just Riding Around (JRA) is a destination-based youth cycling program developed in partnership between 2nd Cycle, Cascade Bicycle Club, and WSDOT. Designed to build confidence and independence through active transportation, JRA teaches students how to navigate urban environments by bike. Through guided rides across Tacoma, teens explore local neighborhoods, parks, and community landmarks while developing critical on-bike skills. The program emphasizes safe riding habits, route planning, and real-world experience using the city?s growing bike infrastructure. Participants who complete the program earn a bicycle, a new lock, lights, and a flat repair kit, equipping them with the tools they need to continue riding beyond the program and become everyday riders, advocates, and community leaders. Classroom Support & Fleet Maintenance for the Let?s Go Statewide Program (Tacoma Public School) 2nd Cycle partners with Tacoma Public Schools and surrounding districts to deliver hands-on classroom support and comprehensive fleet maintenance for the statewide ?Let?s Go? bicycle education program. Our team works directly with educators and students, providing in-class instruction focused on bike safety, riding skills, and active transportation. This embedded support ensures every classroom receives expert guidance tailored to its unique needs, helping students build the confidence and knowledge to become lifelong riders. Beyond the classroom, we manage maintenance for school bike fleets, keeping equipment safe, functional, and ready for student use. By reducing downtime and streamlining logistics, we make it easier for schools to deliver high-quality programming that reaches more youth. This work reflects our commitment to empowering students through cycling and advancing equitable access to bike education across the state. Safe Routes to School Youth & Community Bicycle Educator: We are contracted to support Tacoma's youth and families through engaging bike education programs, including urban skills camps, school-based bike rodeos, family rides, and Earn-a-Bike courses. The program prioritizes underserved communities and empowers participants with cycling skills, safety knowledge, and confidence to safely navigate streets, fostering a healthier, more connected community. Earn-A-Bike (EAB) The Earn-A-Bike program is one of our longest-running and most impactful initiatives. Over six weeks, youth participants delve into the mechanics of bicycles, learning to repair and maintain various systems. In the first session, students pick their bikes, learn bike anatomy, and master flat tire repair. As the program progresses, they gain hands-on experience working on their bikes, culminating in a celebratory ride on their newly refurbished steeds. Graduates leave with a bike, equipment, and an open invitation to join our group rides and continue honing their skills in our community space. Summer Camps For Younger Riders: Our summer camps for younger participants focus on foundational riding skills, games, and off-bike activities like arts and crafts. Campers explore sustainable transportation through field trips on Tacoma?s T-Line. The week ends with a joyful Bike Parade, where campers showcase their progress and newfound confidence to family and friends. For Experienced Riders: For older or more experienced youth, our camps emphasize adventure and exploration. After an initial session of drills and road safety basics, participants actively plan routes to explore Tacoma by bike. Along the way, they engage with local organizations and community partners, broadening their perspectives on how cycling connects people and places. Each day is a unique journey, offering new sights, sounds, and stories. Youth Court Diversion Program Our Youth Court Diversion Program offers a constructive alternative for youth in the criminal justice system. Partnering with Pierce County Juvenile Courts, the program mirrors the Earn-A-Bike curriculum, guiding participants through restoring a bike while learning critical skills. This initiative promotes positive youth development and provides a safe, supportive environment that reduces future contact with the justice system. Participants leave with a bike and a sense of accomplishment and purpose. Internship Programs Through partnerships with Jobs 253, Next Move, and Pierce County?s EET, our internship programs offer young people hands-on experience in bicycle mechanics, shop operations, and community engagement. Interns develop valuable skills while contributing to our mission and preparing for future careers in various fields. Community Programs Bike Month Events Each May, we host 3-4 community events to celebrate National Bike Month, encouraging Tacoma residents to ride, connect, and embrace the joy of cycling. These events range from group rides and skills workshops to social gatherings that highlight the many benefits of biking. Our goal is to inspire a culture of active transportation and foster a vibrant, bike-friendly community. Bike Stories Bike Stories is our annual storytelling fundraiser, celebrating the power of the bicycle to change lives and build community. Held each fall, this event brings together cyclists, advocates, and community members to share personal stories of adventure, challenge, and transformation. Proceeds from the event directly support our mission, ensuring we can continue providing critical bike services and programs to the Tacoma community. Rides and Events: Our rides and events aim to unite people, foster a love for cycling, and celebrate the joy of community. Highlights include group rides, themed cycling events, and skill-building workshops designed to cater to riders of all levels. These events involve riding the most challenging hills in Tacoma, slow and social kidical mass bike rodeos, and traffic gardens. We look to bring the love of cycling to any community partners who are looking to include cycling. Bike Fix Fest: We host a Bike Fix Fest every other week, offering space, tools, and guidance for community members working on their bicycles. Our experienced staff assists with repairs and maintenance, ensuring participants leave with a better understanding of their bikes and how to care for them. Registration is required due to limited space and resources. Adult Earn-A-Bike (EAB) Open to participants aged 18 and up, Adult EAB mirrors the structure of our youth program. Over six weeks, participants select and refurbish a bike while learning essential maintenance and repair skills. The program concludes with a group ride and a celebration of their accomplishments. Graduates receive their bike and equipment and an invitation to join our rides and use our shop for continued learning. Whether new to cycling or seeking more profound knowledge, this program offers a rewarding experience. Volunteer Program Volunteers are the backbone of 2nd Cycle. They contribute time and skills to restore bikes, organize events, and support our sustainability and community empowerment mission. Through their efforts, we divert bicycles from landfills, provide affordable transportation, and inspire a culture of giving back. Recycling and Reuse Center At 2nd Cycle, we transform discarded bikes and parts into functional, affordable transportation. Our mechanics breathe new life into salvaged bicycles, reducing waste while providing the community sustainable mobility options. This initiative exemplifies our commitment to environmental responsibility and resourcefulness. In 2024, we demonstrated our commitment to sustainability by recycling and reusing 1,295 bikes. Additionally, we estimate that we recycled 5,800 lbs of scrap metal, processed 5,018 lbs of parts and accessories, and recycled approximately 1,800 lbs of 478843 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 17 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 5 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X Gene Smith 2533271916 1205 Martin Luther King Way Tacoma WA 98405 Leon Nettels Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 75050 0 0 Gary Kawamura Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Rebecca Motola-Barnes Chairman 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dmitri Keating Chairman 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Gene Smith Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 75050 0 false false false 0 361299 361299 Bike Repairs 459900 57433 57433 Youth Classes 611600 31404 31404 88837 22 22 0 0 0 0 16882 10566 6316 0 236368 93424 142944 142944 0 599418 231781 22 0 175 175 0 0 75050 60040 15010 0 348796 279037 69759 0 10734 8587 2147 42383 33906 8477 0 0 5640 4512 1128 0 0 0 2618 2094 524 3158 2526 632 28729 22983 5746 0 0 58648 46918 11730 287 230 57 0 0 45 36 9 0 1255 1004 251 12437 9950 2487 License/Fee/Membership 3761 3009 752 Repairs and Maintainence 3690 2952 738 Uniform 902 722 180 Meals 202 162 40 0 598510 478843 119667 0 76328 60917 0 0 0 0 0 0 40238 33497 4029 5713 27331 13610 8853 13721 0 0 0 0 450 451 129898 114299 34772 18263 34772 18263 X 95126 96036 95126 96036 129898 114299 908 X X false false false X 76890 113489 142094 258779 361299 952551 342271 347517 327885 391091 342086 1750850 0 0 0 419161 461006 469979 649870 703385 2703401 0 0 2703401 60 51 27 40 22 200 0 60 51 27 40 22 200 0 0 419221 461057 470006 649910 703407 2703601 0.99990 0.99990 0.00010 0.00010 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 15453 5316 10137 11878 8294 3584 13721 Accrued Expense 4000 Deposits 6979 Employee Benefit Liabilities 1248 Gift Cards 3407 Sales Tax Payable 1017 Sound CU Credit Card 1612 18263 X X false Bike Stories 16882 16882 6596 16882 16882 6596 6596 10286 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Reviewed by Board of Directors before filing.
