We do not yet use an end-to-end tracking system of how all our bikes
get processed. But each shift files a Shop Report that includes the
relevant numbers, then a volunteer enters those numbers into a
spreadsheet.

So we are now ensconced in our new digs (right beside the
previous place) and we'll see how things add up this year. We also know that
last year we took in at least 1,200 bikes! Many were scrapped, some donated
away, and the rest built up for sale. And the last of those are selling
fast. We'll exhaust our inventory of ready bikes in the next week or so,
then back to our usual game of bikes going out the door as fast as we get
them ready.A slight clarification:
The 1200 bikes collected in the 2009 calendar year the result of two organizations. Re-Cycles is responsible for roughly 50% of these.

Thanks Paul. Overran my brain there...
In 2008 Cycle Salvation (http://cyclesalvation.org) became co- located with us, and having them share the shop space is what allowed us to get
out of our dingy basement, and also into the brand new space. While the
stats of number of people served is for re-Cycles only, the donations are
indeed the total of what came into the shop when either org. was open.Mark Rehder - General Manager re-Cycles Bicycle Co-op http://re-cycles.ca
