Space Efficient Bike Rack

Here's a free standing bike rack that I made for my garage, using old fenceposts that you can get for free. It hangs bikes vertically from hooks, in a space-efficient way. https://bicycles.stackexchange.com/questions/1221/diy-wooden-bike-rack-look…

Bicycle Projects in Argentina
by Ainsley Naylor 03 Mar '19

03 Mar '19

Hello bicycle community, One of my students from Toronto is now in Argentina, and is asking if I can send her information on bicycle projects there. I cannot see any current bike projects listed on the wiki or in the contact list I have from Bike!Bike! in Winnipeg. Any information this group can offer would be much appreciated - I'd love to get her hooked up with a new place to fix bikes :) Thank you, Ainsley.

Seasonal (first ever) Employee - job description
by breathingplanet 27 Feb '19

27 Feb '19

hi ThinkTankers, after 17 years of hardcore 100% volunteer powered ebbs and flows, Troy Bike Rescue is poised to take a risk and hire one seasonal staff person (called shop manager at this point, but it could change) to help us increase consistency and accessibility of our workshop space. for us board members and for me as founder and forever volunteer, it feels a little like stepping off a cliff, but the current board is badass and motivated and feeling ready, and I am getting behind it. Because there is a lot to talk about here, I am writing with the *specific purpose *of soliciting feedback about writing a job description for said position. and I know the think tank will provide. i love and am perpetually amazed at the dialog and community demonstrated on this list. Things we are thinking about: how can we attract someone with the perfect blend of people and bike skills with a bunch of words in email or facebook or indeed or wherever? is making a seasonal 'limit' a bad idea? it limits our financial risk, but will also limit the pool of potential applicants. how can we make a comprehensive and accurate list of job descriptions without overwhelming a potential applicant or basicall saying "your job is to do everything!"? and etc. etc. If you have a job description handy that has been successful, maybe you want to paste it into this thread. if you have feedback that doesnt stray too far from some of the questions above, that will be helpful too! Thanks!! Andrew - Troy Bike Rescue Troy, NY ps. we are coming to bikebike NE and two youthshop coordinators are headed to youthbike summit! see yinz there. -- Andrew Lynn Certified Arborist Magai Arboriculture 518-573-7947
