hey all--
here at RUBARB in new orleans, we LOVE having visitors. especially ones that are mechanics, like hanging out with youth, are helpful, etc.. there's always a place to crash at my house and a lot of work at RUBARB to be done.
so other than being a plug to visit us in new orleans!, i definitely want to support this great idea of having community bike shop folks visiting other community bike shop folks!
thanks, liz of RUBARB (Rusted Up Beyond All Recognition Bikes) www.rubarbike.org
ps. THANKS to all the enthusiasm, energy and positive vibes that bike!bike! brought to new orleans, and especially our little shop in the 9th ward. it definitely was a huge boost for us, and we appreciated everyone who walked through our doors (and played in our streets!).
Hey yall -
A few of us have been talking for years about developing a mechanic exchange between shops in and between Canada and the US, so that #1 broke ass bike mechanics can travel to sweet rad places for working vacays, and #2 so that we can learn about the intricacies of how other shops run and how we can make our own shops better.
Is this on anyone's radar? Was this talked about in NOLA? Did I miss a really obvious thread about it?
Cause if no one's working on this, maybe it'll be my baby this yearrrr...
Get at me if you want to collaborate/don't want to have to do any more work but are full of great ideas/think it would be rad so I know I'm not the only one still fantasizing about this.
