== Sorry about the Spam ==&lt;br /&gt;
I didn't realize that I started allowing unregistered user to bypass the captcha. It should be fixed now. Thanks for helping to clean up to wiki.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Do you want to be a wiki admin?  --[[User:Jonathan|Jonathan]] 19:25, 18 November 2010 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If someone creates a spam page, just 'delete' it and block the user with an 'infinite' timeframe.  That way the page won't show up in searches or search engines anymore, and by blocking that person you are registering their IP address in a block list too -- so hopefully that will make it a *little* harder.  --[[User:Jonathan|Jonathan]] 21:36, 1 December 2010 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Mission Statement ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To create equitable access to cycling by providing affordable bicycle maintenance, services and education.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Workshop ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our workshop provides a central forum for sharing equipment, materials, and expertise, and facilitates affordable, practical, hands-on support for cyclists of all ages and skill levels.&lt;br /&gt;
We are committed to making our shop a safe and neutral community space where all people are welcomed and encouraged to learn, share, and turn wrenches. Our shop outlook is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Each one teach one.&lt;br /&gt;
* Right tool for the right job.&lt;br /&gt;
* Bicycles make the world a better place.&lt;br /&gt;
== Programs ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Open shop hours&lt;br /&gt;
* Women and Trans night&lt;br /&gt;
* BikeParking&lt;br /&gt;

== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In December 2004, three friends held an open meeting to discuss a community wide problem: bicycle repair services at for profit shops were too expensive and time consuming.  We wanted to fix our own bikes with collectively owned tools.  When the power went out at that meeting, the 60 of us gathered there huddled together and lit the room with blinky lights so we could continue shouting about our visions for community service, empowerment, and change!  Together, with the support of local businesses and artists, we created a nonprofit tax exempt organization dedicated to creating cooperatively owned bicycle repair shop.  Eight months later, with the help of the East Atlanta Kids Club, SouthStar CDC, and Don Bender, Sopo acquired its shop space in East Atlanta.  Two years after moving in, Sopo shut down, revamped, reopened, and hired its first paid Executive Director.  Since then, we have doubled our shop activity.  We are on the verge of developing new and exciting programing that will expand our reach and help make Atlanta a cleaner, safer, and healthier place for all! &lt;br /&gt;
