Inspired by the wonderful [[Urban Bike Project of Wilmington]], some Newark-area UBP volunteers wished to spread the benefits of a UBP-style shop to Newark. In November 2011, a small group of bicycle enthusiasts started to formalize this interest by gathering various Newark biking advocates to brainstorm ideas for a community-led bike organization.
