			== History ==
			As Raleigh’s only non-profit bicycle program, past or present, 1304 bikes filled a unique niche in the bicycle community. Established in 2005, it was the only place where Raleigh residents, regardless of income, could earn a bicycle, find spare parts, use community tools, and receive repair instruction.

	* http://~~www~~.~~facebook~~.~~com~~/~~1304Bikes~~		Over the years, the popularity of 1304 bikes grew and the organization became widely loved by the cycling community. 1304 bikes served a wide-spread and diverse cross section of the Raleigh population, including youth, college students, the homeless and cyclists of all walks. The number of shop users and Earn-a-Bike participants grew with each year we remained open, and we were on track in 2009 to have over 300 people complete the Earn-a-Bike program. Our busiest summer months would typically see 25-30
	* http://~~www~~.~~1304bikes~~.~~com~~		successful Earn-a-Bikers as well as up to 50 shop users during open hours. Our new space will allow us to continue the growth we had, as well as to reach new people and expand the programs and services that we offer.<ref>[https://lists.bikecollectives.org/hyperkitty/list/thethinktank@lists.bikecollectives.org/thread/OIKZTPIPJGASSL6VZETMQ5AV5MCWMRB5 1304 Bikes Needs Your Help! (TheThinkTank.org). Accessed 09/15/26]</ref>

	~~== History ==~~		Unfortunately in 2009, 1304 bikes was forced to cease operations due to improper zoning of the building we operated in.<ref>[http://goodnightraleigh.com/2009/07/city-of-raleigh-shuts-down-1304-bikesacre/ City of Raleigh Shuts Down 1304 Bikes/ACRe (GoodnightRaleigh.com). Accessed 09/15/26.]</ref> Between 2009 and 2013, little traction was made in finding a new shop space, especially one that was centrally located and affordable for a nonprofit with a meager income. At last though, the organization found a new space in downtown Raleigh, on N. West St. The space included 1,500 square feet of warehouse space, with the potential to expand in the future. Unfortunately, there is little further information online about the organization, so it is unclear if the shop was able to reopen, and if so, how long they operated in the space before closing once again. This wiki marked the organization as closed in 2021.
