ABOUT CBSO
Community Bicycle Shop Omaha began with a simple observation . Although Gifford Park neighborhood children were having a great time riding bikes, too often they were missing seats, had flat tires or lacked training wheels. And rarely did the children have proper safety equipment.
Believing that cycling is great for both recreation and transportation, individuals passionate about cycling and improving the community began working to create a space and structure to help members of the Omaha community enjoy cycling safely. The CBSO was incorporated in Fall 2006 and opened its doors to the public in Spring 2007. A 501(c)(3), all of CBSO's programs are centered on our mission: To Create a Positive Environment to Teach Bicycle Mechanics, Build Community, and Promote Safe Cycling.
CBSO places the highest value on personal relationships. Structured as a means of generating positive personal interactions around the constructive process of building a bicycle, the shop promotes understanding between participants. The volunteer mentality of the organization also provides a mechanism where the Learner can transition to the Teacher, gaining leadership skills in the process. By broadcasting an expectation of leadership, generosity, and camaraderie, CBSO involves effective role models in the programs offered, ensuring a comfortable learning environment for everyone.
