*Unfortunately the Richmond SPOKESHOP Bike Shop & Lounge will not be able to renew it's lease after May 1, 2013 at Market square Mall. We are beginning a campaign to raise capitol to find another *permanent* home for spokes in Richmond, Ca. * *The Oakland SPOKES Community Bike Lounge is being established to be the *
campaign headquarters of SPOKES National and the focal point of a fund raising **
campaign to relocate and sustain the founding SPOKESHOP in Richmond, and to establish a fund **
for supporting SPOKES affiliated Community bike organizations nationally.
*We will be launching an IndieGogo crowd funder in about a week and need support in finishing touches and stock for the new place. It would be awesome to *receive* any amount from you as *colleagues* or from your networks in support. SOKES believes that united we can change the global fight to create peaceful productive mobile green Communities and *more so to* make bikes a reality for all our communities through supporting Community Bike Organizations. *
