About

Bad Business Model Bikes, based in Castro Valley, California, operates as a nonprofit bicycle redistribution program that provides quality bikes to individuals free of charge. The organization refurbishes donated bikes and partners with local schools, community centers, and organizations to identify recipients. Founded by Jenn Koscielniak (a mechanic and dedicated rider), the shop prioritizes getting bikes into the hands of those who could not otherwise afford them, viewing bicycles as tools for independence and mobility rather than luxury goods.
