  2. Mission Our mission is to serve the community's needs by educating and promoting cycling as a safe, practical, cost-efficient mode of transportation. Our facility provides a means for the public to become more self-sufficient both in bicycle maintenance and transportation. “Learn by doing” is our philosophy. UBP staff and volunteers teach youth and adults about bicycle repair. urban bike project of wilmington, inca 501(c)3 community bike shop

  3. UBP History - 2005 David and Brian salvage “trash” bicycles and help neighborhood youth with repairs at their Trinity Vicinity apartment. Requests for assistance with derailed chains, flat tires, broken pedals and non-working brakes are a daily occurrence. urban bike project of wilmington, inca 501(c)3 community bike shop

  4. UBP History - 2006 Now located in the 9th Ward, daily requests for repairs continue from neighborhood children. Family and friends start to donate unused bicycles. UBP is officially incorporated in October of 2006 operating out of Brian’s house. urban bike project of wilmington, inca 501(c)3 community bike shop

The move is made to the new facility. Parts, tools and over 100 bikes are moved with the help of volunteers and a delivery truck loaned by Parcels. Paperwork is filed to obtain 501(c)3 status. urban bike project of wilmington, inca 501(c)3 community bike shop
