2nd Upcycle Ball
April 6, 2026
SOMArts

Hope to see you there!
SFYBP family

Thanks to you, our campaign to raise funds for a new Mobile Bike Shop has been a huge success! We are already shopping around for the best trailer, cabinet(s), and tools we can find, and can't wait to assemble it and hit the streets. Spring is just around the corner, and as an extension of our brick & mortar on 25 Division, we'll be using our Mobile Bike Shop to reach out to people who need our help the most. People who without our outreach efforts, might not have the opportunity to own a bike and share in the joy of riding one.

As part of our mission to increase access to bikes and education outreach, we'll be going all over the city (and beyond) to promote our programs, increase awareness, and help people get riding. Keep an eye out for our updates on this blog, Facebook, Twitter, and more, as we chronicle our efforts and show you how we're putting your generous donation to work.

If you are interested in volunteering at either our brick & mortar or mobile shop, or would like to talk to us about coming out for an event, please drop us a line. We would love to hear from you.

Stay tuned...

With gratitude,
SFYBP

We’ve got some exciting news: We’re teaming up with Groupon Grassroots, the philanthropic arm of Groupon, to fund a new Mobile Bike Shop! 

Grassroots is a community outreach initiative within Groupon that brings people together to do good, have fun, and create positive change in their community. 

With this initiative, we’ll be asking for your $10 donation toward a Mobile Bike Shop. We'll be using the shop to reach out to communities around the Bay that don't have access to bike repair shops, to teach folks about basic bike maintenance, and encouraging them to get cycling. Those of you who have visited our brick & mortar shop on 25 Division, and generously donated your time to SFYBP know that we are a 100% volunteer-run shop. Even our Leadership Team volunteers their time to the cause of getting bikes into everyone's hands, and helping them learn to do their own repairs and feel more empowered as cyclists. 


Since you are essential to our success, we want you to be the first to know about our campaign. It's important that we build momentum—here’s how you can help:

1. Subscribe to Groupon (http://www.groupon.com/subscriptions/new) in San Francisco before the campaign launch.(The deal is through SF, so even if you live elsewhere, please subscribe to this page.)

2. Visit the Groupon site on Thursday, February 28th, when the campaign launches.

3. Be the first to give by supporting SFYBP's Mobile Bike Shop and spread the word to friends and family, encouraging them to do the same. Sharing is caring! 

We’ll share the campaign link on Facebook and Twitter, and right here on our blog once the campaign launches tomorrow. 

***Tipping Point: Please note that during the early stages of the campaign, the page will show that we need 40 $10 donations to meet our goal. This is just the "seed" to keep the campaign alive. In order to completely fund our new Mobile Bike Shop, we need a total of $3000 (300 donations). If you have any questions, give us a shout. We love to hear from you, and cherish your support. 

Thank you!
SF Yellow Bike Team

We here at YB are excited to announce we will be holding our 2nd Annual Upcycle Ball on Saturday April 6, 2026

We'll be mixing it up this year:
6-10pm (workshops & silent auction)
10-12am (dance social)

SomArts Cultural Center
934 Brannan Street

Further details to come.

SF Yellow Bike will be closed for the holidays, starting Monday, December 24, 2012. We will re-open Monday, January 7, 2013.  

It's been a wonderful and eventful 2012!  We kicked off the year with the inaugural Upcycle Ball, found a shop space in the summer, started hosting regular volunteer hours, received our 501(c)(3) tax exempt status, held two successful Kids' Bike Swaps, danced the night away at our Fall Fundraiser, and helped refurbish scores of bikes for veterans--and more!

From everyone on the SF Yellow Bike team, thank you for being a part.  We wish you a happy and safe holiday season and a beautiful new year. Ride safe. 

Love,
Adam, Anna, Mary Kay, and Nathan
SF Yellow Bike Team

We're excited to announce that we will be adding a new night of volunteer shop. Starting 12/10/12, we will be open:

Mondays 6pm - 9pm
Wednsdays 2pm - 5pm
Thursdays 6pm - 9pm

Please join us to volunteer, check out our bikes or to drop off a donation. Come be a part.

Here at San Francisco Yellow Bike Project we consider all all year a "season for giving", but when we get to collaborate with groups like the San Francisco Bike Party on a toy drive, we get extra excited about holiday giving! 

On Friday, December 7th we will be helping SF Bike Party collect new, unwrapped toys as well as children's bikes and bike parts in any condition! We will be on the ride, with cargo bikes, helping to collect the donations, so come on out. The toys will then be delivered to the SF Fire Fighters for their annual toy drive.  SFYBP will collect the donated bikes and parts, assess and repair and then distribute them just in time for the holiday season! 

For those unable to join us on Friday, we will be collecting donations Monday, December 10th 5pm - 9pm at our 25 Division shop. 

We hope to see all your beautiful faces on Friday!!! 

Check out these great gift ideas for your bikey friend, that will give you a warm fuzzy feeling without the guilty aftertaste. Click on the pictures to visit the eBay auctions for the items.  50% will go to Chuey's Medical Fund, and 50% will go to SF Yellow Bike. 

The shop will be closed on Wednesday, November 21. Normal hours resuming Monday for our 6pm-9pm Volunteer Shop, volunteers welcome.
