Sopo Bicycle Cooperative's mission is to create equitable access to bicycling by providing free bicycle maintenance services and education.
We operate a community-based bicycle repair shop where people of all kinds share skills and resources in order to create a cleaner and safer Atlanta!
Our special programs include: Youth Night, a summer series for local youth; Alternative Life Cycles, an alternative bicycle distribution program for people who are disabled; hosting teen interns through our partnership with the International Rescue Committee; and our Mobile Shop, bringing bicycle repair to the Whitefoord Community, Reynoldstown, and DeKalb County Department of Family and Children Services.
Special programs in the works include: a Sopo-Clarkston community bicycle repair shop in partnership with the International Rescue Committee, and a bicycle lending library at Taskforce for the Homeless.
