by Karen Overton 21 Feb '20

21 Feb '20

Call for Proposals are due February 25th. Come to Atlanta and let your voice be heard! DREAM TEAM & YOUTH BIKE SUMMIT BRAG Dream Team was selected to host the 2020 Youth Bike Summit in Atlanta for the very first time when it received the “Golden Handlebars Award” and is co-hosting with the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition! The Youth Bicycle Summit's purpose is to celebrate and encourage youth advocacy of bicycling in communities across the country. Each year, a new Youth Advisory Council for the Youth Bicycle Summit is created by the host organization to help organize the program for the next summit. This year, students from Grady HS, Maynard Jackson HS, KIPP Atlanta Collegiate, Woodward Academy, Brown MS, and Georgia State University have stepped up to serve on the 2020 Youth Advisory Council. <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Nw2a8Isvftf2ArSbYfJcfWFcRfMneR8ctnG-68fUhf7i…> Accordingly, the Summit will engage students in various sessions and activities aimed at tackling important issues and topics related to bicycling such as bicycle safety, bike advocacy, and biking as an alternative form of transportation. This 2020 event will be a three-day affair that will take place at Grady High School from Friday, March 27 to Sunday, March 29. It will be a weekend of activities, learning sessions, games, competitions, and networking intended to build character, strengthen teamwork skills, increase confidence and encourage creativity toward our participants’ future endeavors in bicycle advocacy. Students, parents, cyclists, teacher/educators are all invited to attend! YOUTH BIKE SUMMIT <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Nw2a8Isvftf2ArSbYfJcfWFcRfMneR8ctnG-68fUhf7i…>

Mission Statements and Fundraising Pitches
by Josh Bisker 07 Feb '20

07 Feb '20

Hey pals, we're working on raising funds and I'll probably be doing a fair amount of outreach both on the ThinkTank and individually to ask for help and guidance. First questions: 1) What's your mission statement? Green light go. 2) What do you feel are the three most important parts of your fundraising strategies for local granting orgs, city agencies, and deep-pocketed individuals? 3) What is one lesson you've learned about fundraising that you wish you'd known when you started out?

Park Tool School Mechanics Training
by Robert Christiansen 05 Feb '20

05 Feb '20

Hello all, The Sacramento Bike Kitchen would like to ramp up our educational offerings. The programs needs to be flexible yet structured and flexible to accommodate potential volunteer scheduling/availability fluctuations. I have been looking into the Park Tool Schools program as outlined in their BB-4TG Instructor Guide. I am impressed with their offering and feel it might fit our needs perfectly. We are thinking to first establish an in-house mechanic training course which could be mandatory for new volunteers and optional for current volunteer staff. We are 100% Volunteer run. We would then open it up to the public. Tuition if any has yet to be discussed. We would greatly appreciate any feed back from all of you if you have any experience with Park Tool School or similar curriculum. Secondly have any of you instituted a mandatory training for new volunteers? If so, any observations and reflections would be welcomed. Your time and efforts are greatly appreciated and we give many thanks to you all. Keep up the the great work. For The Sacramento Bike Kitchen, Robert Christiansen Http://sacbikekitchen.org

Re: [TheThinkTank] Visioning Meetings
by mist＠strans.org 10 Jan '20

10 Jan '20

Hi, In 2016, we crafted a long range, big picture vision when we took on the task of buying a 2 acre property with a 28,000 sq ft building in the heart of Missoula. (we raised the down payment outright with cash donations, then assembled 8 tenants to cover the mortgage) We had many pot lucks, round tables and one on one conversations. Then our two main staff (myself and our programs director, Emily) spent a bunch of time sifting, sorting, editing, re-dreaming; the 4 page doc is found here: http://www.freecycles.org/vision we update it every year or so (it's due once again for revision as time/people/energy change) It's focused on expanding our basic Free Cycles programs (Open Shop, Build a Bike), adding new programs (a hostel, learning center, bike share), our advocacy efforts (bikeways, roundabouts, road diets, sustainable paving) and also the dream of going off-grid, carbon neutral, no fossil fuels, and local and healthy materials to retrofit the building. the doc is brief, and our plan is to take on pieces as we can, expanding the pieces with work plans and rough budgets happy to talk more to anyone via mist(a)strans.org or 406.830.7676 -Bob Giordano, director, Free Cycles, MIST Quoting Alysia Herr <alysiaherr(a)gmail.com>: > Hi buds, > > I'm with Kickstand Community Bikes, a volunteer-run space in Vancouver, BC. > We're in the midst of some big changes: a shop move, general increase in > volunteer-time, and increase in shop user-ship.

Whole Sale Accounts - JBI
by momoko saunders 08 Jan '20

Hey all, I've been chatting with a lead sales rep from JBI regarding the troubles some bike collectives have in securing whole sale accounts. He was super sympathetic and wanted to see how he could help smooth over the process. Any of you all needing help in this regard? Is this still an issue? I know QBP is hard, but has anyone ever tried JBI and had issues? Feel free to DM me. I can send your contact to the rep so he can help facilitate an account creations. Cheers, -Momoko

Visioning Meetings
by Alysia Herr 08 Jan '20

08 Jan '20

Hi buds, I'm with Kickstand Community Bikes, a volunteer-run space in Vancouver, BC. We're in the midst of some big changes: a shop move, general increase in volunteer-time, and increase in shop user-ship. All good things, but we've decided that it's probably time for visioning meeting. However, it turns out folks have some different ideas about what this means. I have my own ideas, but I haven't participated in this sort of meeting before, so I'm not sure how to build a framework to make this exercise useful. Has anyone participated in a Visioning Meeting for their organization? What did it look like? Specifically, what was the scope and what were the goals? Who facilitated the meeting? How many people attended? What did you accomplish? If anyone has an agenda or outline they could share, I'd appreciate it. Thanks! Alysia

Transition to trusted volunteer
by Gordon Hamachi 05 Jan '20

05 Jan '20

Dennis: I am with the Silicon Valley Bicycle Exchange. We have an explicit conflict of interest policy designed to prevent volunteers at any level from profiting from their volunteer activities. Removing the incentive of personal financial gain helps to see that volunteers are taking more responsibility for the right reasons. Our shop leadership is mostly self-selected volunteers who show up at our steering committee meetings that happen every other month. From this additional time commitment and willingness to take action items it quickly becomes evident who is a committed and trusted volunteer. Responsible leaders are developed, not born. You should be taking steps to meet and get to know the volunteers to decide which ones you trust. Remember their names. Make them feel welcome, continually remind them of your shop’s goals and organizing principles. Invite them to incrementally assume more responsibility. I got drawn into a leadership role at my shop when I observed how hard our leader was working, and asked if there was something I could do to help share the burden.

Transition to trusted volunteer
by Dennis Wollersheim 28 Dec '19

28 Dec '19

our organisation is having difficulty cultivating trusted volunteers. Our mission and circumstances is very appealling, so we attract many new volunteers, but we have a dearth of people transitioning to trusted volunteer status. Also, the allure of personal gain trends to attract problematic, opportunistic types, to the leadership position,although this may be a peculiarly Australian problem given our convict/colonist background. I understand that not everyone takes up the vocation, it is a choice with what one does with their spare time. What are the circumstances / structure that your organisation has to support your lead volunteers? On a personal note, what prompted to to take up the mantle of leadership? What keeps you doing it? Thanks Dennis

Pedal powered machine designs?
by Carlyn Arteaga 24 Dec '19

24 Dec '19

Buenos dias, Think Tankers! It's been awhile since I've chatted with y'all, but this really seemed like the place to go to ask my question of the day. =) Do any of you have a design for a kid-friendly/interactive machine made from bike parts? I'm thinkin anything from a marble machine to a pedal powered machine that throws water balloons.

My friend is a teacher at a local high school. He would like to once a week teach bike mechanics as part of his Economics class. Any ideas on how to tie bike mechanics into the curriculum of a high school economics class? Best regards and Happy pedaling! “Smitty” (S. M.

Does anyone want a crown race puller? Finish is damaged a bit and one jaw will eventually need to be replaced as its cracking. Happy to ship to anyone willing to pay shipping or drop it off in Toronto sometime.

Shift Calendar
by Gabriel Trainer 12 Dec '19

12 Dec '19

Hello, Bike Farm is looking to keep an ongoing monthly shift calendar to keep track of who has signed up for a volunteer shift and which shifts need help. It would need to be viewable and editable by anyone. Does anyone know of something besides Google spreadsheets or calendar that would work for this purpose? Thanks for the help, Gabriel
