Joshua Tree
by Stuart Nottingham 01 Oct '19

01 Oct '19

I've a couple of friends who are headed to Joshua Tree area to work for a few months. They've got a couple of bikes that they're carrying with them. I gave them the once over, and both need significant work. Normally, I'd offer to do this for them myself, but they want to leave in the morning, so time is not on my side. I suggested they find a co-op/collective in the area to give them a hand. What is the closest to JT? Thanks in advance for any advice or assistance. Stuart Nottingham

These are the build checklists we use here at B!KE. I strongly advocate for people to do them in order.

Dividing Paid vs Volunteer Labor
by Josh Bisker 25 Sep '19

25 Sep '19

Hi pals, The Mechanical Gardens has been essentially an all-volunteer effort so far, but we're exploring adding some paid positions to reach real organizational sustainability. Things like fundraising, fostering organizational partnerships, and even just coordinating operations and volunteers are challenging to do with no paid staff time. It's obviously tricky to make this shift though. One thing we need to do is comfortably distinguish: (a) the types of work for which people are paid, versus (b) the types of work for which people volunteer. *So: in your organization, what are some of the ways you divide these things up?* A related question might be: *What are your titles and job descriptions for your paid positions? * I know this topic opens a whole can of worms, but maybe we can get into it a couple of questions at a time...

HI All One of our vollies is putting together repair checklists for use by volunteers and repairing public. Apart from the one on the wiki ( https://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=File:Community-cycles-…) , do you have other examples of repair checklists?

Robert's Rules of Order
by Todd Spinner 13 Sep '19

13 Sep '19

How many bike co-ops out there use Robert's Rules of Order or at least some form of that to run their meetings? It has been in our bylaws for a decade but we have not been using it and our meetings have suffered. We have one member who is questioning the value or even that there are successful organizations that use it effectively. If you have tried it and it did not work well, what has worked better? Thanks, Todd The Bike Project of Urbana-Champaign -- Todd Spinner

Working Bikes Bike!Bike! Workshop Idea
by Devon Snyder 31 Aug '19

31 Aug '19

Hi Bike Community! Working Bikes is going to be out in full force at the upcoming Bike!Bike! in October. We are interested in putting together a panel discussion on local donation programs. Specially, we are hoping to have a conversation with other shops that have local donation models that differ from our own. At WB, we work directly with social service orgs, schools, community groups, and special events when coordinating our local donations. So, if you have an earn-a-bike program or a local donation program that is set-up differently and are going to be at B!B!, let us know! We would love to coordinate a discussion to present at the conference. Feel free to email me directly or give us a call! devon(a)workingbikes.org | 773-657-8419 Thanks everyone! Cheers, Devon Snyder Community Engagement Manager, Working Bikes -- *Devon Snyder, Community Engagement Manager, Working Bikes* *2434 S Western Ave, Chicago, IL 60608* *773-657-8419* *Pronouns: She/Her/Hers* *devon(a)workingbikes.org <devon(a)workingbikes.org>* <http://www.workingbikes.org>
