Dirty Shop Rags
by Jonathan Morrison 30 Oct '06

30 Oct '06

This is a 'which is worse' question... Do you clean your dirty shop rags, or bring them to the local hazardous waste facility just like old paint, oil, gasoline, etc.,...? Our shop rags are actually cut up t-shirts that were extra from a cycling event over a decade ago -- so we have plenty and they cost us nothing.

Early August would probably be best just considering most people don't have classes yet, so a lot more people would be able to participate. Sara Tallahassee, Florida Krank It Up!

Everyone, Could all of you send me some photos of your shop layouts? Regardless if it is clean, or your ideal layout, I would like to see what the common aspects of everyone's shops are.

Interbike & Bike!Bike!
by Jonathan Morrison 06 Oct '06

06 Oct '06

Please don't schedule Bike!Bike! 2007 over Interbike. I went to Interbike for the first time this year, and while I do have to acknowledge the retail consumerism -- there was a beautiful underbelly of resources. I talked to key people at Park, Pedros, Bikes Belong and Planet Bike just to name a few. For anyone who uses tools and promotes commuting, you would be crazy NOT to go. Booths are free to non-profits, so the Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective is going to try and set up a table next … [View More]

Re: [TheThinkTank] hi everyone..and dates for bike!bike! 2007

Dear Bovine, Don't recognize your alias so I don't know if I know you. If not, greetings from Philadelphia. Thanks for the heads up... I was even thinking of going to Interbike next year, but it is usually such a miserable experience for me that I wasn't thinking of going that much... (I hate conusmerism and Vegas in more or less equal amounts that seem to offset the fact that there are bikes there, most of which don't have electric motors) Is interbike a common destination for Bike-Bike … [View More]

Hello everyone, This is Jessica from Free Ride! in Pittsburgh. I recently joined the list, and have just been reading the archives trying to get caught up on where things are at. Great to see the site is up, and with a wiki too, very exciting! Also; here in Pittsburgh we have begun discussing the 2007 bike!bike! conference. We're trying to set dates now. September was mentioned during the discussion in Milwaukee. I'd like to take a poll of potential attendees to see whether early … [View More]

Hi Rachael, This is a great idea and a huge endeavor! Count me in! I'll send a couple of articles on perspectives on commuter cycling. Meanwhile, check out A to B Magazine. Professor Pivot has great pieces on technical bike stuff & repair. The magazine might be a bit too Brit. for most readers, but it has great info. Best, Phil Hammerslough
