Volunteers and community activists in the Gifford Park Neighborhood started the Open Shop program in 2007 as a neighborhoodbased community involvement program that focuses on the transportation needs of neighbors. The Bike Project continues to work to improve access to bicycles for everyone through Open Shop EarnaBike and maintenance classes. In addition to serving as a hub for sustainable and equitable transportation the Bike Project also serves as a social learning space that promotes youth mentorship community building and mechanical intelligence. DonateABike Your bicycle and tool donations help our shop continue to provide the community with access to bikes and education.
