free maintenance resources?
by chris turner 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

Hey gang, I'm a volunteer from Off the Chain, taking a break to go to grad school in Syracuse. I'm in the process of putting together a pathfinder on free bike maintenance resources for a winter biking clinic that I'm giving next month, and I'm interested to know what resources everybody would suggest. The resources don't need to relate to winter biking at all since the handout is meant to be a supplement, to give people list of some of the best places to start learning about bike maintenance. I'm also not interested only in comprehensive resources. If you know of a great resource for a specific topic, I'm happy to hear of it. Also, if anybody has homemade materials that their interested in sharing, I'd be happy to link to them or to host them. When the pathfinder is done I'll post it to the list. thanks, -chris

Seeking Stainless Steel Spokes
by Christine Hill 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

We're starting a fund raising project for our shop, Bike Recycle Vermont, that requires as many stainless steel spokes as we can get our hands on. We're working with a local metal artist on turning them into bracelets and more, and we only want to work with used spokes. We've harvested quite a few over the years from taco-ed wheels and whatnot, but we don't do much wheel building in our shop, so we feel okay re-purposing them in order to support our program. If your situation with spokes is similar, we would really love your help. We can send you the postage and packaging for the spokes. We'll take as many as you are willing to send us! Please email me with your shop's name and address if your shop can save them up and get them in the mail to us. Thanks! Feel free to email me with any questions you might have.

Winter Cycling Clinic
by Sam Haraldson 07 Jan '11

07 Jan '11

Collectives, Our co-op will be giving a series of lectures this winter, the first of which is a winter cycle commuting clinic. I'd like to round out the materials we've put together with examples of what others have taught regarding this topic already. If you have any outlines or other presentation materials related to giving a winter bicycle commuting clinic we'd be most appreciative of you sharing. Boulder's Community Cycles gave a nice presentation regarding this topic at Mountain States Bike Bike last year. Their organization has all the materials for a presentation ready to go in a Rubbermaid tub for quick deployment. If a company, or other organization is in need of a presentation they can contact CC and for a fee have a ready-to-go presenter and presentation with little difficulty. Cheers, Sam

Donate Button on Websites
by Jess Linz 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Hey everyone, I've been wondering about how effective "donate" buttons (like Google Checkout for Non-profits) are on project websites. Our cooperative has many active members, but also many sympathetic supporters, who would potentially donate to the cause without seeking membership (we have an annual membership fee which supports our operating costs). Right now the only way to donate is to come down to the shop or mail us a check. For those co-ops who use online donations, are they very effective for A)renewing memberships and B)getting support from non-members? Thanks!
