Hi All, I would like to thank all the people so far who have replied with suggestions on new premises. We have taken ideas from everyone who has replied both here and directly to myself. When we finish moving which may take a while I will post pictures and a link and I am sure everyone will see some idea that they have contributed. Geoff Smart Back2Bikes Port Melbourne Australia

Hi Geoff I've just setup new premises in a self-converted 30ft x 10ft shipping container in the Olympic Park, London, UK. I visited Condor Cycles, Cloud 9 Cycles, Soho Cycles and a few others that are deemed the best of the best in London to ask if I could photo their workshops and get advice. All were very helpful and because my business runs on a gift economy and open source, all were happy for me to photo their workshops and talk me through what worked and why. What I found: * vertical storage (if safe and you have height) good * keeping only what is needed most to hand, the rest further away (minimal movement wasted) * dedicated bench/toolboard for facing/setting tools with a grinding wheel (if possible) and heavy bench vice * lots of space needed to store completed bikes/bikes awaiting service? Make a scaffolding rail & use meathooks - slide the bikes like clothes on a clothing rail! * double-sided stands are brilliant for frame swapouts and saving space (if you have the width) * paint benches and tool/shadowboards black - easy to find tools, looks good, stays looking good even when dirty * PVC piping with angle bend is a great way of storing cable inners! What I also did * long shipping containers are dark - I installed a 2.5kW solar system on the roof for internal LED spots and striplights - make sure benches are well lit and lit in a way as to avoid glare * I didn't have budget for proper storage and benches so bought cheap 2nd hand stackable plastic storage bin boxes and built benches from plywood to exactly fit these (with 1/2" gap around each) * Benches with tops deeper than the bench width means you can get your feet right up to the bench * Used a few interior design tricks to make the space appear bigger - racks/storage mounted off the floor - white wherever possible (especially ceiling)....would have uplighters too if more power (our projects runs off-grid) Other thoughts * sliding doors? use this space for your safety posters and legal stuff (we need HSE posters, fire safety and company documentation displayed in UK) - or more storage if sliding mechanism can cope * ensure there is adequate space to move around - a good rule of thumb is 60cm-70cm gap * have a mix of new and parts used by volunteers/staff? colour code storage bins/boxes - one for old, one for new * easy clean/non-slip flooring is a worthy investment * parts washer great if you have chance to get one Warmest regards, *Lawrence Mohammed* Director/Head Mechanic *+44 (0)77 222 58587* *probikeservice.co.uk <https://probikeservice.co.uk>* *facebook.com/probikeservice <https://www.facebook.com/professionalbikeservice>* /[Location, NOT delivery address] Pro Bike Service C.I.C.

For those planning to ride up or drive up to Bike!Bike! via middle-Americaland we've got some contacts in Fargo and Minneapolis who can help advise on who is coming and going when, such that y'all might link up and/or have some resources about staying in Fargo or Minne. Contact Sara in Fargo sarawatsoncurry(a)gmail.com Or Casey in Minneapolis casey(a)thehubbikecoop.biz Heads up; the ride north from the border to Winnipeg along Hwy 59 is kinda meh and the last time I did it along Hwy 59 (11 years ago now...) the road was pretty crappy with no shoulder. Hwy 216 might be better but I haven't ever rode it south of Grunthal. That said the ride from Minneapolis to Thief river falls is fantastic with lots of beautiful paved rail trails. I'll try to gather more intel on an ideal route in the coming weeks. Look forward to see y'all here in Wpg!

Interbike Non-Profit Sign Up 2017
by Tiff Mueller 17 Jul '17

17 Jul '17

Yep, its that time of year again!! Here is the sign up for Interbike this year. Badges are FREE for non-profits and it is an invaluable experience. Write, email, and call these companies all you want, but they start listening when you are in their face. Not to mention they are cool people! Put a face to all these companies and start really working with the industry. This will be my fifth year participating as a representative for the non-profits on a national level and though I went in with a rather skeptic attitude, I promise I have seen a positive change by bringing the non-profits to the table. We are not preaching to the choir here, but actually changing opinions of those who make industry changes. We are part of that change and this will be another fabulous year for non-profits reminding them of that!! Again, this is the sign up. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ryv4e0wSR21-9LXoMRrLxjHbG6eafAzTmg4… [https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/C9MzATVs6Gg5AKLppVToWlu7IIauWJLWCpXsfWjQD…]<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ryv4e0wSR21-9LXoMRrLxjHbG6eafAzTmg4…> 2017 Interbike Plans<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ryv4e0wSR21-9LXoMRrLxjHbG6eafAzTmg4…> docs.google.com README FILL OUT EACH OF THE TABS BELOW COMPLETELY( not on this page, click the tabs), Registrants, Rooms, BCN Booth Volunteer Shifts ( Down in Lower Left), Don' t fill out this page, click the tab below, Don' t fill out this page, click the tab below, Don' t fill out this page, click the tab below No booth sign ups yet.

Thank you to all supporting life on a bicycle and alternative ways of doing so. I hope the summer is treating you all well and I look forward to a fabulous Interbike this year!!!!! -Tiff Mueller Bike Rescue

Volunteer Appreciation
by Edward Kirkwood 14 Jul '17

14 Jul '17

Broke Spoke Community Bike Shop is looking to implement a more formal volunteer appreciation process in an effort to retain and acknowledge volunteers better. Looking for input on how the rest of the community bike shop world handles this. Do you acknowledge individuals for length of service by hours volunteered or simply an anniversary of their first date of volunteer service? What tiers of acknowledgement do you implement such as 1 month, 2 months, up to 6 months and then perhaps each year after that, 1 year, 2 years ...........and so on? Volunteers are our most valuable resource and as we try to expand our hours of operation we need more folks since we are a 100% volunteer organization.

Sorry if it's been asked before, but anyone running Odoo on their own server? Community version is free, Open source, and not too limited compared to paid version. All the modules, sales, inventory, contacts, website builder. Anyone have experience with this before I sink time in it? Jack Murphy Bike Walk Wichita

Looking for a UX copy-writing buddy
by Godwin ! 22 Jun '17

22 Jun '17

Hey folks, I'm looking for someone that is interested in writing copy for bikebike.org and soon bikecollectives.org. I've been writing the copy myself for a while and I'm not great at it. I've also been trying to go for a more crowdsourced approach but I think ultimately I would appreciate having a single person who I can chat with regularly throughout the year. The time investment shouldn't be heavy, it would be great if you have experience with UX copywriting but just as valuable if you're interested in learning more and want some experience. You will be rewarded with praise, friendship, hugs, and references if you want them. Email me off list if you want to talk more. Thanks! Godwin
