Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Physical Fitness & Community Recreational Facilities, Sports
Mission: To create equitable access to cycling by providing no or low cost bicycle maintenance service and education.
Programs: Sopo moved our shop to a lower-cost and more accessible location in the reynoldstown neighborhood. The organization received a 25,000 grant from the united parcel service (ups) to expand our link program, increasing our ability to provide bicycles and bike repair training for homeless people and other vulnerable populations. Sopo installed a publicly accessible outdoor bicycle repair station outside our shop, available for members of the atlanta bicycle community to use 24 -7. The organization's volunteer coordinator oriented and activated 25 new regular volunteers into bicycle repair activities at our shop. Sopo co-sponsored numerous events with partner organizations from the atlanta bicycling community.
