Do you feel your hard work is underappreciated? Do you thanklessly perform the majority of key tasks for your hive? Are you responsible for approximately 80% of the world’s crop pollination? You might be a worker bee!

To celebrate our Save The B’s campaign, we are learning about the different roles of bees in the hive, and comparing them to the different types of bikes out there.

We think that commuter bikes are the worker bees of the bike world. Commuter bikes are there for us on a daily basis, working hard to make sure we get to important places and things. It’s easy to take them for granted until they’re gone and there’s worldwide crop failure or you can’t get to work on time.

We wanna share some love for all the worker bees and commuter bikes out there. We see you and we appreciate you! Here’s a beautiful Van Dessel from the Bikery all dressed up for the beehive tour on Sunday. This bike is perfect for commuting with moustache bars, internal gearing, and a front disc brake.

These bee roles also correspond with different sustainer levels, reminding us that when we lean into our strengths and come together for the sake of the hive, something sweet and nourishing is made. Sign up to be a sustainer, and join our beehive tour on April 19th!

🚲🐝 SAVE THE B’S! 🐝🚲
This spring, Cycles of Change is calling on our community to protect The Bikery - your neighborhood pollinators of bikes and freedom of movement.

🎯 Our Goal: 100 Sustainers by April 19
We’re at 66. Will you join the bikehive and help us get there?

The Bikery is the only full-service bike shop in the flatlands of Oakland and a vital resource in the San Antonio District. From accessible repairs to youth bike education to fixing vendor carts and scooters, we keep our community’s foot on the power pedal.

Rising costs and funding cuts are putting pressure on the hive. We need collective power to keep the doors open and the wheels turning.

🍯Beehive Bike Tour 🚲
As we grow our hive, we will investigate the magic and mystery of the beehive, nature’s original worker-collective. Our beesearch will culminate in a beehive bike tour with Urban Farm Oasis on Sunday, April 19, 2026. RSVP link in bio

Every monthly gift keeps the honey flowing - bikes, skills, and mobility for our community.
