Mission Statement

Each core mechanic will have priveledges based on time and commitment. The non-profit will be a non-hierarchical consensus based project with weekly meetings, discussing the state of the Bike Farm and needed improvements.
The space will be purely run on funds and donations. We hope to get a few larger grants to help pay rent for the space in the beginning until its able to sustain itself on selling used parts. The Shop will be open at first 3 days a week in the evening hours and then extend to 4.
