hey all, i'm looking to get in touch with the person who wrote/published the "no boys allowed" zine which was passed out at bikebike in san francisco. it was part of one of the oppression and gender identity issues workshops. we're looking to start a women's night here at community cycles, and i'd like to scan my copy as a pdf and email it to potential volunteers, as well as make some copies to have in the shop... if you're on the list, or if you know the person who wrote it (her name escapes me), please get in touch with me off list... thanks! josh. community cycles boulder

by Geoff Heath 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

I think I put this request out 6 months ago but I figure I'll try again; Anyone have notes from the Bikebike 2010 workshop "how to teach hands off"? I'm making a document on teaching in the bike shop and would love to know what happened in said workshop. Thanks! -- *Geoff Heath*, Mechanical Director The Winnipeg Repair Education N' Cycling Hub 1057 Logan Ave. Winnipeg, MB R3E 3N8 www.TheWrench.ca

Assembling List of Student/University Bike Collectives and Advocacy Groups
by Ryan Feller 03 Nov '12

03 Nov '12

Hello Think Tank, I am assembling a list of student/university bike collectives and advocacy groups, hoping that by organizing and learning from each other and from outside experts, we can multiply our efforts to increase bicycle use. Does anyone know of any bicycling-related student groups, or individual students with an interest in bicycle advocacy? I am also interested in environmental and public transit-related groups. -- Ryan Feller Transit and Bicycle Coordinator New College of Florida '15 (941) 894-4333

Storing Bikes near a Pipe Organ
by Henry Dunbar 02 Nov '12

02 Nov '12

Okay, this is an odd one, but I'll ask it anyway: Anyone have experience storing bikes near a pipe organ and if so, do the bikes make any noise due to the vibration? I ask b/c we're considering working with a local church to give away a bunch of little kid bikes around the holidays. The pastor says I can store them in the choir loft until the event in December, but the choir director has concerns that they'll make noise (i.e. vibrating spokes) because they'll literally be right next to the huge pipe organ. I suppose it's possible, but told them I honestly didn't know and would check in with this astute body to see if anyone has first hand knowledge of a situation like this. My guess is we won't know until we get them in there. Anybody? Henry Phoenix Bikes Arlington, VA

I'm available for one on one instruction. Members can exchange work credits for tutelage or they can pay cash. I also teach a free basic bike repair class. Later, there will be an advanced class; for that there will be a tuition fee Sent from my HTC EVO Design™ 4G from Boost Mobile ----- Reply message ----- From: "Rich Points" <director(a)communitycycles.org> To: "The Think Tank" <thethinktank(a)lists.bikecollectives.org> Subject: [TheThinkTank] Private Bike Repair Lessons? Date: Wed, Oct 31, 2012 13:31 Hey All, We're playing with the idea of offering private bike repair sessions. This would be for folks who already have a bike and don't qualify EAB and would like more guidance/instruction working on their bikes. We have a membership which gives you access to the shop and tools but not necessarily and instructor. Private lessons would help us fill this gap. Are any of you guys doing this? Would love to hear your experience. Questions 2hrs? - 3hrs? Scheduling? Cost to participants?

Getting started
by Harold Schreckengost 27 Oct '12

27 Oct '12

Hey, everyone! For next spring, the owners of the LBS and I are hoping to have a co-op together. Preferably by late March or early April. What, as far as tools, fixtures, etc, will we need? And what will we need for paperwork, record-keeping, etc? (We're in Pennsylvania, by the way, if that matters much) The more detailed you can be, the better, and the more I will owe you. Any help I can get from you guys would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Harold Schreckengost

Date: Thu, Oct 25, 2012 08:20 If your state offers an enhanced drivers license, that is a slightly less expensive, and quicker alternative to a passport for crossing the canada border. In VT it took less than 10 days to get an enhanced ID, and costs $25 on top of the regular drivers license fee. They also do Non-Driver ID.
