Best Way to Fix Your Bike and Help Folks, Too
Community Cycles of California
35 Wilson Ave, San Jose
Like Good Karma Bikes, the full-service bike shop that reinvests revenue to train young adults aging out of the foster care system, Community Cycles of California has a higher calling. The brainchild of Good Karma alumna Cindy Ahola and Collin Bruce, Community Cycles is both a bike shop and public-benefit enterprise. After a year offering fix-it services at the Rose Garden Farmers Market, the pair opened their retail spot last month behind Babe’s Muffler’s on The Alameda. The goal is to build up enough support to offer small-business training for the chronically underemployed by 2020, and to launch service centers at low-income housing complexes where bicycles are often residents’ only mode of transportation.
