Hello from chilly Des Moines!
The Des Moines Bicycle Collective is just about to hit its first anniversary. Miracle of miracles, we're still above water.
What have you experienced collectives learned is important to track regarding shop activities? We think these things are key (especially for applying for grants):
*bikes received
*bikes given away
*bikes sold
*Earn-A-Bike completions
*bikes recycled/sent to scrapper
*tires recycled/sent to scrapper
*volunteer hours
Are we missing anything? A couple board members want to create an entry for each bike received (record serial number) and track hours spent on fixing, parts/tires invested. Seems a bit over the top when we're still scratching and clawing for volunteers.
But, willing to listen to the voices of experience.
