At The Ypsi Bike Coop, we believe in the power of bicycles to transform lives and communities. Our mission is to create an inclusive space where everyone—regardless of background, experience, or ability—can access the resources, skills, and support needed to ride confidently. Through skill-sharing and resource-sharing, we empower individuals to repair, maintain, and build bikes, fostering self-reliance and strengthening social relationships. We champion environmental sustainability by promoting recycling and reuse, reducing waste, and encouraging cycling as a healthy, low-impact mode of transportation. Committed to equity of access, we work to eliminate barriers that prevent community members from enjoying the benefits of cycling. By making bikes, tools, and knowledge accessible to all, we strive to improve individual health, enrich our neighborhoods, and create a more connected, resilient, and sustainable Ypsilanti.
