At Boston Square Community Bikes we track three outcomes:

Number of bikes refurbished/sold/distributed (56 in 2013-2014. This includes those sold and those distributed through "work-trade" [only a couple last year]).
Number of repairs "facilitated" (315 in 2013-2014. This includes DIY visitors to the shop, repairs that staff/volunteers complete or assist with, parts sold [including patched tubes], and, even, "air" (topping up tire pressure).)
Number of graduates from our [L]Earn-a-Bike program (11 in 2013-2014).

I think this is a great topic, so I'm eager to hear from a few others.

I'll be contacting you, Wanda, offline for some additional guidance.

Hey everyone.
I don't have specific detail abt the impact, outputs and outcomes of the shop at which I volunteer, but I am a grant systems administrator and I coach organizations on writing grants and setting goals, etc. If anyone wants any help with specifics for their outputs and outcomes or general help/information on how to set them up, especially if you're looking for grant funding, feel free to email me off list.

We'd really appreciate any data, information, stories and so forth on the impact, outcomes and outputs of other bike cooperatives, collectives, earn-a-bike and youth education/repair programs, especially with regard to the medium and long-term (please indicate the period of time since medium and long-term is open to interpretation).

Many thanks,
