1.Vision Statement
Mobo Bicycle Cooperative envisions a world made healthier through the increase of people using bicycles for environmental, social, creative and practical purposes. We believe that cycling and its benefits should be made equally accessible to people from all walks of life. We see that the promotion of the social and educational aspects of cycling creates empowered individuals and communities. We see the intrinsic value cycling has for developing community, and we acknowledge that as our culture and infrastructure become more inclusive of bicycles, quality of life is enhanced for all.

We accept all parts and bikes regardless of condition. If the donor asks for a donation receipt, fill out a receipt for them. Donation        receipts should not include the value of the bike or part -- that is between the donor and the IRS to determine. Most people that make donations are not concerned about getting a receipt, for this reason we only give them out if they ask.
