hiya, folks.
something sopo's always struggled with is finding volunteers and convincing
them to stay. many people who visit our shop would rather have a hands on
demonstration than look up how to do repairs in our manuals. we tried
having a few bike maintenance 101 classes to get people feeling like they
have the capacity to help others with basic repairs, but that didn't stick.
does anyone have ideas or experience in this department? or is it
sufficient for us to tell people that reading about repairs in our manuals
is part of their process at our shop? i tend to doubt the success rate of
the last one. i'm thinking food incentives might be a good idea.
love/peace/bicyclegrease,
