BIKE-a-THON
by Bob Giordano 20 Mar '11

20 Mar '11

We've had 7 'stages' of the Tour de Montana over last 5 years. It is a fun, great way to raise money. The tops was 36 riders raising $2,000 on a long one day ride (132 miles). The funest was 2 day overnight, self supported, 60 miles each way, carrying kids bikes on bike trailers to deliver to schools along the way. We pick a route, theme, make it an adventure, spread the word. We used motor vehicle support for the first two, now it's all by bike. A little info, including a pledge sheet anyone is free to modify and use is at: http://www.freecycles.org/past-events/ -Bob G, Free Cycles Missoula mars psymons wrote: > Has anyone ever done a bike-a-thon as a fund raiser? i would love to see how you promoted it and any advice.

Bikes in the UK

Hi, I was in the US last year and was impressed with your diy bike collective culture, this list, and the BikeBike. I just wanted to say cheers, it is inspiring. Some friends in Manchester are holding a Grassroots Bicycle Conference in the UK on the 9-10th of April. http://ibikemcr.org.uk/?q=node%2F5449 If anyone is interested then you can sign-up here: https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dGdsLVFWblA0MU1VSXIzSDBEcX… Also if there is anyone else from the UK on this list that isn't on the UK bike list ukbikes(a)lists.riseup.net send me an email. It would be great to be connected and we are lucky enough to live in a country where we can cycle to all the cities pretty easily. nab (from the Pedallers Arms, Leeds) P.S. not sure if I saw this on the list but oskar from the Bike Kitchen in Vienna popped into the Pedallers and told us about this bike festival that they are holding at the end of July http://cyclocamp.blogsport.eu/[1] Links: ------ [1] http://cyclocamp.blogsport.eu

How many weekly "open hours" does your shop have?
by Joel Gillespie 08 Mar '11

08 Mar '11

Hi, Joel Gillespie from The Bike Project of Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, here. We're looking at re-vamping our shop hours schedule, and I'm trying to gather some information from other collectives on how many hours you're open to the public and/or members each week. Also, if you have specific uses for any of those hours, like sales-only, or just for structured repair classes, etc., please point that out if you could. Any thoughts or insights you could share (on- or off-list) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Joel Gillespie Volunteer, Bike Project of Urbana-Champaign
