"This is a real dream I had last night," said Tyrone Stevenson Jr. (aka Baybe Champ the Scraper Bike King), founder and creator of the Scraper Bike Movement. "In East Oakland, a bike shop, mentor center, computer lab with Apple computers, all green technology, somewhere in East Oakland that these kids can come see a friendly, fresh positive, saving the earth facility. Scraper Bikes."

Over the past few years, the Original Scraper Bikes has hosted a list of successful community events, for youth living in communities infected by drugs, gangs and violence. The Scraper Bike Movement has empowered hundreds of youth around the Bay Area to make a change against these issues.
