one idea we've toyed with, but haven't implemented yet, is an art bike auction. you can get local artists (and kids!) to paint frames, and then you can auction them off. the people who win them can then come to your shop and build them up into ridable pieces of art!

RAFFLES: In Colorado I believe you are required to have a special permit to do so. I bet this applies to other states as well. Check with your local government before you do a raffle, or your local government will be checking with you (and possibly checking you in). Careful and good luck. Bruce

HI JAKE,
I suggest a bike raffle or two or three- build up some bikes that
represent the aesthetic and types of bike you guys roll and raffle-
not a dollar- like $10 and maybe a super duper bike for $20 tickets
and include a complimentary membership with the bike.
Maybe you could sell bike horns and people could use them at the
game..? I don't know but raffles are my vote.
Ride on!
