Bike To Work

From the Wichita Bicycle Collective website...

We'll be back open tomorrow 12-6 for open shop, come by and help us finish getting the shop set up. The address is 553 N Fountain. We made a lot of progress last week but there's plenty left to do. We'll be installing lighting and power, building wheel shelves, making signs and posters. if you've got bikes, parts, or tools to donate, it'll be the best time to bring them by.

While at the Courageous Cog benefit we also learned of this.

Looking for volunteers to help at the Coasters MS Bike rest stop on Saturday and Sunday, September 12th and 13th in Douglas, KS. We will be supporting those who are riding to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis by providing water, fruit and whatever assistance might be needed. We will set up a display of our antique and custom bikes at our stop. Everything that is needed to assist the riders will be provided.
By volunteering you'll most importantly be helping to fight Multiple Sclerosis but also get to hang out with your fellow Coasters and show off your bike(s).

Saturday we are required to be there at 8:15am, Sunday 9:15am for 4-5 hours each day. Sunday probably the longer day of the two.

From Craigslist ad...

so here's the deal- some fellow cyclists and I are working on a community bike shop, a non-profit co-op with the goal of promoting bikes as viable transportation by teaching bicycle maintenance and repair while recycling discarded or donated bicycles into affordable, sustainable transportation. We're calling it the Wichita Bicycle Collective. These types of organizations exist in many other cities and we feel Wichita is long overdue for a little progress in this area. To learn more, visit bikecollectives.org, If this is something you'd like to see happen, we need your help! Donate your time, money, or old bikes or parts and tools, the most important part of a community bike shop is the COMMUNITY, and it won't happen without YOU.

The Wichita Bicycle Collective website says it is coming soon and has a contact link.

Congratulations to the Wichita chapter of the Riders of Rohan who are celebrating their 1st anniversary today.
