Hey Everyone,

It's been over a year since our last event and it is with mixed emotions
that we announce that the core group that makes up The Community Spoke! is
moving on to new things.

We're looking for a new group to take and reinvent the Spoke and provide a
much needed service to the Boston area.  We have a full workshop of tools,
supplies and parts and a reserve of cash dedicated to the project that we
would like to pass on.  This is essentially a "bike co-op in a box."

Ideally, we'll connect with a new group of volunteers that would continue
to use the Spoke's name and legacy and function in a similar way to the old
group.  If this is not possible we'd like to find an existing group or
groups to give our resources to.

To remind you of our mission, we are an all volunteer bike shop that
provides free bike repair.  We've always tried to focus on cycling
communities underserviced by the bike industry and are committed to being a
safer space.  Our safer space policy is integral to our operations and our
most important policy.

We are also looking for a new home for H.E.L.L.
<https://thecommunityspoke.wordpress.com/h-e-l-l/>, a free helmet program.
H.E.L.L. and The Community Spoke! have been partners for some time.
Included are dozens of high quality helmets and funds earmarked for helmet
distribution.

If you or anyone you know is interested in operating a free bike repair
organization or absorbing its resources to your current organization please
let us know!  Familiarize yourself with our mission and points of unity at
www.thecommunityspoke.org and fill out our application.  Help us continue
to provide the Boston area with free resources and promote cycling.  Please
spread this message to anyone who may be interested.

The application can be submitted at http://goo.gl/forms/haIWLCmPi4



Thanks,

Dora, Dustin, and Alex - core volunteer group of The Community Spoke!
