Good Karma Bikes

Good Karma Bikes Our mission is to empower people and build community through bikes. Bicycles are the medium we use to create the disruptive change we believe is needed.

Good Karma Bikes, a non-profit social enterprise, is a full-service, second-hand bike shop open to the public providing services and support for the local community. We work with former foster and other disadvantaged youth. Our primary program provides work readiness and college entrance via a two-year life, work and college program to at-risk youth. In addition to working in the shop and attendin

g college, our youth also support our outreach programs to homeless and low income working people. The Good Karma Bikes community provides safe, reliable bicycle transportation, repair services, and training. We refurbish, sell, and grant bicycles at our retail shop. For every bike sold, we provide one bike or service at no charge for members of the community. Although we are a bike shop, we are not about bikes. Bicycles are simply the medium in which we work. We are a growing organization whose mission is to provide individuals with life transforming opportunities. Since our founding, we have
- Provided 17,000 free repairs
- Served 500 clients
- Granted 1,500 bicycles
- Logged 50,000 volunteer hours

In addition to our program youth and staff, it is with the support our many dedicated volunteers and donors that we are able to provide the services we do to our community.

Our grantees can spend anywhere from $10 to $200 on public transportation per month, whether they're traveling to job interviews, work, the grocery store, or anywhere else they need to go.

The gift of a bike alleviates financial pressure and provides recipients with the mobility and freedom they need to find new opportunities.

Your donations make this possible by covering the costs of repairing and maintaining these bikes. Your generosity reaches far beyond our shop's walls and touches real lives! 💚

Bicyclists are friends of Mother Nature!

Choosing to bike instead of driving is one of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint. Annually, you can save nearly 1.3 tons of CO2 by biking to work or school. Biking can also improve air quality, climate stability, and local ecosystems!
