by Desiree Sanii 06 Oct '16

06 Oct '16

Dear Think Tank, We would like to implement some "how to" literature around our bike shop for the young people. For example drawings and writing explaining how to patch a tube, or how to use a chain breaker. Does anyone have this kind of material or know where I could find this information? Thank you! -Desiree ... from Baton Rouge

Donations in/near South Carolina
by Nozomi Ikuta 06 Oct '16

06 Oct '16

Hi folks, a dear friend in South Carolina is looking for 100 bikes. We are willing to look for some here in Cleveland and go help them fix them, so the bikes don't have to be in perfect riding condition -- just good enough to be fixable and decent enough to stay in repair in a developing country without a lot of access to bike shops. Here's a link with more info about the project: http://www.umcsc.org/AnnualConferences/2017/Service2017.pdf Many thanks! nozomi ikuta 216 624-6781

Bike! Bike!
by Angel York 05 Oct '16

05 Oct '16

Y'all! Bike! Bike! has come and gone. PLEASE O PLEASE post workshop notes and thoughts on how it went and what you remember of major points of discussion I will still mail one chocolate bar and/or thank you card to each person who takes detailed notes and posts or emails them. On a related note, presumably most of your community bike shops take notes at meetings, it helps keep everyone who can't attend on the same page. I mean, having never attended (ideological transportation preferences + cost to travel). I say this with so much love for the people of bike!bike! and thinktank: with notes in past years either absent or mostly-absent, it sort of feels like y'all have unintentionally developed something of a secret cabal. How did it go!? And if there aren't notes from this year, is there any way to at least get some sort of consensus on their accessibility value?
