We're (regrettably) a bit less festive here in Sacramento, but we don't change our hours when weather turns less mild. Which is sort of good for us; the lower number of customers helps give our volunteers a chance to kind of hang out in a more relaxed atmosphere, and we can usually get a fair number of bikes all built up and waiting for someone from the throngs of fair-weather cyclists to come and adopt them.

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
