Chris or I have mentioned in the past that re-Cycles has always kept
track of certain stats. And these past couple of years it has really
paid off in showing how much growth we've had to cope with.
As an example, in the old, windowless basement that we occupied until
early 2008 we had about 1,500 people use our shop. This includes
volunteers, folks doing DIY repair, and people buying stuff.
In 2008, in our most recent location, that number jumped to 2,500.
In 2009 that soared to 4,400! No wonder we felt a bit constrained
and needed to move AGAIN.
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.

Hello, right now we use open office. I wrote some java code that crawls all the spreadsheets in a directory to generate statistics. We've been talking about developing a "ruby on rails" system.

The Recyclery in Chicago has at this point a pretty well-developed and flexible MS Access DB that tracks our bicycles--parts added, mechanical work performed through sale, it generates price tags too. There has been talk about adding a volunteer/contacts database to it. We would also be glad to share the basic tables, forms and reports if other shops are interested in using & refining it.

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.

i'm sure i'm not alone when i say this, but i would be VERY interested to see what documents you all are using to track your bikes as they come in and go out.
if anyone's interested in sharing their documents, please email me off list. in exchange, i'm happy to post them to the bike collectives wiki for others to benefit from.
thanks!

We have been using the Quickbooks Point of Sale (POS) to record bicycle and donations which has a nice side effect of providing an instant donation receipt. We also keep track of how many bikes we sell and give to goodwill (discounted 100%) in the POS. The one thing we don't keep track of directly is how many bikes we scrap, but we can derive that from
# Total Bikes Donated - # Bikes Sold - # Bikes for Goodwill - # Bikes still in inventory = # Bikes that are unaccounted for (scrapped).
As for volunteer hours, I modified the Austin Yellow Bike Project's software, and we have been using it this year successfully. I am still in the process of adding anti-tampering safety features, but once I have done so I would be happy to share it with the list.

Sam from Bozeman here. It looks like you've got a nice GUI built up at that link. I've been in discussion with my roomate who has PHP/MySQL experience and he has shown interest in building a database for this particular purpose. Would you like to chat about this off-list?

I've been kicking around the idea of a version 2.0 of freehub[1]. It seems like it is an unmaintained project. What sort of stats are folks interested in? I've created a short list of stats, is there anything I'm missing?
- Volunteers/Staff
- membership status (are your volunteers automatically members?)
- unique
- hours
- age distribution
- regional distribution
- skill levels
- classes taught
- volunteer/shift distribution
- Patrons
- membership status
- unique
- visits
- age distribution
- housing status distribution (we get a lot of homeless folks)
- regional distribution
- classes attended
- total money donated
- total non-money donated
- Sales/Money
- complete bike income
- parts income
- membership income (we sell membership of duration 1 day and 1 year)
- donated money
- value of donated non-money (parts/tools/bikes/services)
- shift open/close stats
Here are some stats on our people for 2009:
1458 non-volunteers 192 volunteers 1650 unique visitors
We were open for approximately 750 hours last year. I estimate our total volunteer time to be in the neighborhood of 1500hrs (+/- 300hrs). We currently gather statistics using an in-house install of freehub.
Scott Sacramento Bike Kitchen http://sacbikekitchen.org
We've also been using freehub at the Davis Bike Collective and would really like to add a bunch of features. We've got a few programmer types who've been talking about designing something new or to start hacking at Freehub. We'd be interested in contributing to an open project that could meet our combined needs.

- shift open/close stats
Here are some stats on our people for 2009:
1458 non-volunteers 192 volunteers 1650 unique visitors
We were open for approximately 750 hours last year. I estimate our total volunteer time to be in the neighborhood of 1500hrs (+/- 300hrs). We currently gather statistics using an in-house install of freehub.

This is a modified version of the Austin Yellow Bike Project's Volunteer Log. Since we use Quickbooks POS for donations and transactions, we just disabled them.
http://volunteer.slcbikecollective.org/shop_welcome.php
While this is currently being used, it is also a working prototype. We are going on a limb by making this public to the think tank. So if you find a security hole, please don't exploit it, just let me know instead.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Morrison Executive Director Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective 2312 S. West Temple Salt Lake City, UT 84115 w: 801-328-2453 c: 801-688-0183 f: 801-466-3856 www.slcbikecollective.org
The mission of the Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective is to promote cycling as an effective and sustainable form of transportation and as a cornerstone of a cleaner, healthier, and safer society. The Bicycle Collective provides refurbished bicycles and educational programs to the community, focusing on children and lower income households.

We have been using the Quickbooks Point of Sale (POS) to record bicycle and donations which has a nice side effect of providing an instant donation receipt. We also keep track of how many bikes we sell and give to goodwill (discounted 100%) in the POS. The one thing we don't keep track of directly is how many bikes we scrap, but we can derive that from
# Total Bikes Donated - # Bikes Sold - # Bikes for Goodwill - # Bikes still in inventory = # Bikes that are unaccounted for (scrapped).
As for volunteer hours, I modified the Austin Yellow Bike Project's software, and we have been using it this year successfully. I am still in the process of adding anti-tampering safety features, but once I have done so I would be happy to share it with the list.
