The Good Karma Chronicle

Direct from the front lines

Who is it that is served for free?

We call them clients.  The only thing we ask of them is that they do something nice for someone else.  Our clients of our free Saturday repair clinic are homeless and low-wage workers.  Many of them work two jobs and wonder if they'll have enough to get by this month.
Our free repair clinic is open to anyone.  That's right, no questions asked.  We do excellent service for everyone.

Statistics...

Picture
The average client age is 49.0 years.
Less than 15% are employed (we don't included retired as that is a choice).
Slightly more than 50% make money recycling.  Of those who recycle, 90% use their bicycle for recycling.
75% use their bicycle to carry groceries.
76% use public transportation at least once per week.  But 89% still say their bicycle is their primary transportation.
14% of our clients are veterans.  We serve veterans from every conflict starting at the Korean War (1950s).
Our clients rate our service 4.86 out of 5.00 (we didn't count the scores over 5).

You can help...

You can volunteer with Good Karma Bikes.  It's fun and you learn a lot.
You can donate to support clients with their primary transportation.

Or, we'd be really happy if you did something nice for someone else and thought of us while you were doing it!
