This is it.

Money's going out more than it's coming in.

Fortunately for us, one, I don't know how to, like, give up.

Like, when I first started, I didn't have a job or, you know, I'm couch surfing.

And Uber had a program where you could rent a car for $200 a week.

I did that for a very long time in order to make sure the rent was paid.

That was not easy at all.

COVID was devastating.

Couldn't get bikes, right?

Shipping had stopped.

And then when shipping started, everything just like doubled or tripled just to shipping.

So like anything from overseas was crazy.

And now with the tariff war that like this president has been doing, it's just affected everything too.

So it's like, we feel it.

We applied for a grant and we got it.

So we're doing a bike library program.

Participants, they get a bike, they get a helmet, they get a lock, and they get training on how to ride safely in the streets.

That's helped sustain the shop.

When we first started the program, we had a member that didn't have a job, was looking for work.

and was trying to get a job at LAX.
