Bike Parts For The Rest Of Us

68 people are interested in this workshop

We own and operate a not-for-profit bike shop with a primary mission of giving bicycles to people in need.

We had difficulty finding affordable sources for the items we need to repair bicycles, especially older bicycles. Major suppliers were not interested in us because we wouldn't spend enough money, plus they didn't carry some of the items we needed most. We occasionally arranged to buy parts at wholesale prices through other local bike shops, but this was cumbersome. Other non-profit bike programs in our area were facing the same issues, so we started a wholesale bicycle parts distribution company specifically tailored to the needs of non-profit shops and programs.

This workshop will explain why we started Midway Bicycle Supply, and how non-profits can benefit from having direct access to wholesale items. We will bring a selection of the parts we offer for participants to examine, including our exclusive 27 x 1 3/8 studded tires! While larger organizations may have established supplier relationships, really small enterprises have difficulty meeting the requirements. We have removed most of the barriers for small non-profits to get direct access to wholesale pricing, allowing your organization to get more for your money.
