tracking statistics

18 Apr 2010

      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.
