Weekly Update --Start of Semester Crowd & Sales

Posted by Emily Repetowski on January 28, 2026

Email from Jacob Benjamin:

Last week we opened for the semester and were positively inundated. Wednesday saw 40+ people come through, almost all with rusty bikes from leaving them out for winter break. Fingers crossed for some legitimate storage solutions down the line…

Friday was less busy but still all stands full for most of the day. Successfully convinced someone to tackle a build-a-bike instead of sinking time and money into a Walmart bike. I’ll call that a win!

The numbers:

Visitors: 60

Sales: $471.96*
Bikes: 2 for $420
Memberships: 4 for $120
Tires/tubes: 2 for $12

*Outstanding sales are still pending, as IT issues prevented us from accepting payment on Wednesday, Jan 21st.

 

Thanks!
