Jonny,
Attached is the tag that we use. It was modified from the tag found in the appendices of Recycle-a-Bicycle's Tools for Life: https://www.transalt.org/sites/default/files/resources/toolsforlife/26networ... I've also attached a tag we use for wheels and other items.
We might seek to change the bike tag a bit so the tag slides inside a plastic sleeve, because even printing on more expensive cardstock, the tags can rip off the ties.

Hi Friends,
Do any shops have examples of tags that they use to track who donated bikes, who's worked on the bikes, bike's state of repair, etc? We're working on creating something simple and effective to facilitate donor recognition as well as getting bikes effectively prepared and sorted for our youth programs.

We use a variety of tags, always improving. To connect the tag to the bike we like using spokes. If you bend them the right way, the spoke becomes a natural hook and clasp that is secure and can be used over and over.
