SOPO Bicycle Co-op

Dana Goldman | WABE

June 28th, 2013

At the Sopo Bicycle Cooperative in East Atlanta, volunteers (and one paid staff member) help people rehab old bikes or make new ‘”frankenbikes” out of donated parts. Their goal is to make bicycling affordable and de-mysticize bike repair, by providing tools and help for a suggested donation. (People — including kids — can also earn bikes through helping out at the shop). Over the last year, interest in the shop has gone up as gas prices have gone up.
