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

Fwd: Houston, anyone?

Read below for an email from one of our rockstr volunteers and native to Houston. If anyone knows, its him! ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Jonathan Stafford <jonathanrstafford(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Feb 19, 2019, 9:15 PM Subject: Re: [TheThinkTank] Houston, anyone? To: Sterling Stone <sterlingstone(a)gearinupbicycles.org> Hey man. So there's some good news and a lot of bad. First, Your best bet for used parts is to be in town for FRANKEN-BIKE which happens once a month and is more like a swap meet. Unfortunately, there isn't a co-op in Houston at all. At least not in the same vein of Gearin Up, Velocity or Phoenix. There is a "community focused" shop called 3RD WARD BIKE SHOP which sells used parts and bikes. But the prices arent all that great...but they arent set in stone either - so you might get lucky. When a friemd of mine was planning a tour he had some luck calling a few shops and asking if thwy had a used parts bin he could dig thru. None of them advertised it but a few let him. Try Bayou City Cycles, Sun and Ski Sports and Bike Barn. Best of luck...

Moderated by *Xia Xiang W*. This event is presented in association with Blackstone Bicycle Works and is being organized by Kahari Black.

Volunteers
by Judith Feist 08 Feb '19

08 Feb '19

Hi All! I just would like to inquire what types of levels of volunteers everyone has at their organizations? What is asked of each level of volunteer? What privileges are given to each level of volunteer? Greatly appreciated. Ride one. -- Judith C Feist Co Director, the Hub at Back Alley *"*Radical simply means 'grasping things at the root'"- Angela Davis "A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle." -Gloria Steinem I think [the bicycle] has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world...It gives a woman a feeling of freedom and self-reliance.~Susan B.

Insurance Aaaargh
by dave ellis 08 Feb '19

08 Feb '19

Hi all, I’ve reviewed the archive and done some digging and so far have come up empty. I would like to hear from folks who found a balance between reality and actuarial tables to secure insurance for your operation that didn’t break your bank. Our activities include fixing up and providing bikes to groups through partnerships like schools and civic orgs, providing instruction on fixing bikes, using volunteers to strip and sort, and selling a few bikes that are a bit more valuable. It’s the last item that seems to cause the heartburn, although not our focus or primary goal, just helps keep the rent paid. Apologies in advance if you’re tired of this topic, but feeling sidelined at the moment. Thanks! dave @ Queen City Wheel House in Helena, MT

Bike Life Movement
by Patrick Goguen 07 Feb '19

Hi bike folks, long time reader first time poster here. Wanted to share some cool stuff happening where I live, especially after whatever that spam was ( thanks Godwin). Worcester Earn-A-Bike is sending a crew of youth to the youth bike summit in a few weeks, and I wanted to share here a short doc that the youth will be screening, about the local bike life movement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlU7qgnGziA Directed by Andi Lipo & Jeremy Hartman Please note this Mini Doc was made with Love By: https://www.easternblocc.com/ About 508 Pedal Bikelife; 508 pedal BikeLife is an autonomously-organized group of youth cyclists aged 7-24. Often maligned by the press and certain sectors of the public, the youth have been actively trying to share their side of the story and change the negative perceptions about their activity. Although their slogan is "Bikes Up, Guns Down," they are often mis-identified and policed as if they were a gang with violent intentions. With a grease stained heart, Patrick Goguen Shop Manager Worcester Earn-A-Bike
