Mission

To provide bicycles and hands-on learning about bicycle repair at low cost to the Durham community

990-EZ for the year ended December 31, 2025

Program accomplishments

  • Bicycle Repair Shop. The Durham Bicycle Cooperative operates a repair shop for the benefit of our members and the community. We teach hands-on repair skills during open shop hours and special clinics, in order to empower program participants to fix their own bicycles. We solicit donations of unwanted used bicycles. These bicycles are repaired and sold to members and the general public. In 2025, volunteers hosted 1,638 bike repair shop visits. Volunteers also restored and sold 320 bikes.
    Expenses $8,131
  • Outreach. The Durham Bike Coop works with a network of numerous social service agencies whose clients benefit from receiving bicycles and safety accessories. The mechanics from the DBC interact with case workers and other professionals from our network who then take the bicycles and other items to their clients. In 2025, the Outreach program sold 212 bikes at low cost ($10 each) and gave away 44 refurbished bicycles, 246 helmets, 105 vests, 103 light sets, and 106 locks to children and low-income adults. The organization also serviced 361 bicycles through 30 mobile repair clinics.
    Expenses $12,577 · grants $8,617
  • Recycling. In 2025, the Durham Bike Coop received 1,350 donated bicycles. Volunteers sorted through the donated bikes and separated out those that could be repaired from those that could not be repaired. The volunteers then salvaged usable parts and recycled ten tons of scrap metal.
    Expenses $1,660
