Subject: [TheThinkTank] Winter shut down?

The Broke Spoke Community Bike Shop in Lexington KY has been up and running solidly since last Nov. Our question is, how many shops shut down or tweak their hours during the cold weather months? We do not anticipate closing completely because our shop is used by so many, but we do need to get some rest for the volunteers and work on some education classes.

Currently we are open
Tuesday 8-11 pm
Thursday 6-9 pm
Sunday 1-5 pm

Currently, thinking about staying open on Sundays during the winter but making Tuesday and education night and then closing on Thursday till spring when we can start to build up a lot of sale bikes.

Cheers
Tim
