""I said that there was no bike shortage... there were... hundreds and hundreds of thousands of bikes languishing in garages all over the city that just needed a little bit of attention and time.""
""How cool would it be if some rich person was just like, 'Look, I'm going to put a million dollars into an account, that's your endowment...'""
The Scenic Routes Community Bicycle Center, founded by Jay Beaman and friends during the pandemic, is a unique bike repair shop that highlights sustainability and community involvement. Originally launched out of Beaman's apartment, the shop grew from a joke on social media into a vital resource for bike enthusiasts. With a focus on repairing bikes, the shop operates on an anti-profit model, earning only 1 percent net, while providing free classes and fostering a communal spirit among its patrons and employees.
