We’re thrilled to announce that Silicon Valley Bicycle Exchange has been selected as a beneficiary of Sports Basement’s Basementeer program! This partnership means that every time you shop at Sports Basement, you can support SVBE just by being a customer.

What’s a Basementeer?

The Basementeer program is Sports Basement’s spin on a traditional customer loyalty program — but with a generous twist. Basementeers get 10% off all purchases, every day and 10% of profits from those purchases are donated to a charity of their choice. Now, SVBE is one of those choices!

How You Can Help

  1. Not a Basementeer yet?
    Signing up is easy — just visit any Sports Basement location or sign up online for a one-time fee of $25. When registering, be sure to select Silicon Valley Bicycle Exchange as your beneficiary.
  2. Already a Basementeer?
    If you're already part of the program but support another organization, you can change your beneficiary selection by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and requesting to switch to Silicon Valley Bicycle Exchange.

Why It Matters

Every dollar spent by SVBE-supporting Basementeers helps increase the funds we receive at the end of the year. The more people who choose us as their beneficiary and shop at Sports Basement, the larger our portion of the donation pool will be — supporting the important work we do at SVBE to empower education, accessibility and sustainability in our community.

As an added bonus, Basementeers get access to Sports Basement’s free community spaces for meetings or events, and we may even host some pop-ups or movie nights there in the future!
