Bradley St Bicycle Co-op is a non-profit whose mission is to create a more equitable New Haven by getting more people on bikes. While we can and do donate bicycles to folks who need access to transportation in New Haven, there is a little more to it:

What else do you need to know about us?

We are primarily self-funded through proceeds from our bike recycling program and used bike shop.
Staff and volunteers repair hundreds of bikes a year so we have enough to sell to used-bike customers and donate to our institutional partners IRIS (Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services) and CMCH (CT Mental Health Center) who distribute bikes to their clients.
We are working to increase our donation capacity, but there is a limit to the number of individual donation requests we can accommodate every month.
