Hi All

Free Range Cycles in the Fremont Neighborhood of Seattle is owned by Shawna Williams and lead mechanic Nikki Mcthewson ( both former Bike Works staff members and amazing people!!) and before Shawna it was owned for many years by Kathleen Emry.

The Bike Kitchen's program office is also operated by me, a non-dude ✌

Also a fun fact, when I was the founder of Bike Saviours Bicycle Collective in Arizona in 2007 there were ZERO non-dude bike mechanics employed anywhere in the entire city of Phoenix.

Bluestem Bicycles of Brookings, SD. LLC owned by three people; 50% owned by a woman, 50% owned by two men.

Back story if anyone cares: She helped me formalize and operate a 501(c)(3) (inspired by my times at Bike Farm and Plan B) when she lived with me in my brother's house during her graduate studies. The organization worked in a space my former boss (owner of previous sole shop in town for decades) rented until he tried using that space to coerce me into working more days/hours, at which point we swiftly moved that organization out and I quit working for him. She immediately offered to invest money for me to open a new shop. Overwhelmed by the prospect, I then asked my former co-mechanic to join me and take part of my half of the ownership. Coming up on four years later, we still pay ourselves shit (when we can afford to pay ourselves), and she's pulled nothing out of the place, but we all have fun with it, and the shop's future looks bright (so long as one ignores mass extinction, climate change, politics, etc). As she did from the beginning, she insists she embraces the possibility she'll never see any return on that money. She's loving life in Alaska, and we wish she'd come back for awesome bike rides and community.

When I was in California around 2011 there was a shop near downtown Berkeley that seemed to be owned and operated exclusively by women, it also seemed to be very popular. I don't remember the name though.

(apologies if I sent this already, I checked and it seems like I didn't)

Coming up on four years later, we still pay ourselves shit (when we can afford to pay ourselves), and she's pulled nothing out of the place, but we all have fun with it, and the shop's future looks bright (so long as one ignores mass extinction, climate change, politics, etc). As she did from the beginning, she insists she embraces the possibility she'll never see any return on that money. She's loving life in Alaska, and we wish she'd come back for awesome bike rides and community.

Hi,

We're monitoring the situation like many of you,

We're doing the small things like keeping clean; for now using extra paper towels instead of old, clean t-shirt for communal hand drying; considering the wipe down of tools, etc

Also talking about closing for a couple weeks, or whatever appropriate time length.

And we can use that time to do deep cleaning, bike building, organizing, and so on.

Maybe keeping some fix-it stations open?

...wanted to see what others are thinking?

Thanks, Bob Giordano, Free Cycles Missoula

Here is the statement/blog post we made last week. you can also view it at https://www.boisebicycleproject.org/bbpexperience/2020/3/9/bbp-and-the-coron... At the current "low risk level" communicated by our State, because of no known cases found, this seems to be working, but we will adjust as needed.

Because BBP is a shared-use cooperative space, we wanted to make sure we reached out to let you know how we, as an organization, are taking precautions against Coronavirus (COVID-19). We believe *“precautions” *is the correct word as we strongly believe in taking Coronavirus seriously while proactively maintaining BBP as a safe space for the community to work on their bikes, purchase used bikes and parts, and create positive impact for others. Now is not the time to panic; it’s the time to double down on building a healthy and resilient community for ALL.

Below are some new *Coronavirus Free BBP Rules* we are putting in place to maintain a safe hygienic space for all of our shop users. This is not a substitute for broader precautions, and we ask that you *stay informed and up to date about COVID-19 from reliable sources *. It is temping and easy to go down a deep dark Coronavirus rabbit hole on the world wide web, but the information on *CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) page* https://www.cdc.gov/ and *Idaho’s Coronavirus page* https://coronavirus.idaho.gov/ is great and updated regularly. As of 3/9/2020 the individual risk in Idaho is still at Low. *NEW “CoronaVIRUS FREE BBP” RULES*

*Stay home and don’t come to BBP if you’re feeling sick.* Our staff has been given strict instructions to do the same and as many extra sick days as they need to accomplish this. 2.

*A.B.W. (Always Be Washing) Rule.* When you arrive at BBP, we will ask you to wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds* (**the CDC way* https://www.cdc.gov/handwashing/*) *before working on your bike and again after working on your bike. Our mechanics will be washing their hands between each customer they assist with bicycle repair. We will be asking our volunteers to do the same during Volunteer Night. 3.

*Clean tools, clean stands. *Since we share surface areas (tools and stands) at BBP, we will wiping used tools and each stand down between customers. 4.

*Gloves if you need them.* BBP will provide surgical gloves if you’d like to use them when working on your bike. Feel free to bring your own if you have them. 5.

*No food or drinks on the shop floor. *Since we are all trying to avoid touching our face area as much as possible, especially in community settings, we’re asking that you consume your food and beverages before or after you come to BBP. We will be providing free popcorn to go, but will ask that you wash your hands before taking a bag. 6.

*Be Cool Be Calm Ride On. *These are precautions, we are taking this seriously, and these are not reasons to panic. So keep riding and stay healthy because there has never been a better time to be on a bike.

*STIGMA AND RESILIENCE*

*Please read this article* https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/related-stigma.html about the danger of stigma and discrimination that can occur when people associate a disease, such as COVID-19, with a population or nationality, even though not everyone in that population or from that region is specifically at risk for the disease. *YOU CAN HELP*

Drop off your clean rags at BBP (old washed t-shirts, towels…) 2.

Extra soap, disinfectant, surface cleaner, wipes, hand sanitizer, surgical gloves, kleenex ? We’ll take em! 3.

Keep supporting all of your local nonprofits and businesses!

Ride On!

@BBP: How are you wiping down your tools? I've been worried that there isn't a reliable way to do this for a lot of our tools, such as the ones with ratty old rubber handles.

@everyone: Can we get to sharing some techniques for hygiene in such a physically complex environment? I'm struggling to envision, personally.

We do always have nitrile gloves on hand, and many participants use them.

Those are all things we have thought of. For now, we are doing the complete closure. I'd say we might slowly open up to have staff work on refurbished bikes, but definitely no public the rest of this month. But every day changes.

On Thu, Mar 12, 2020 at 2:57 PM Jimmy Hallyburton < jimmy@boisebicycleproject.org> wrote:

We do have gloves on hand as an option, but are instructing all of our employees to communicate some new DIY rules to shop users like...

• Wash your hands before working your bike.
• If you use a tool, leave it out on the bench top rather than hanging

it back on the board/peg.

• An employee will wipe down the tools with surface cleaner, rubbing

alcohol or wipes (we're out of wipes) and then re hang them on the shelf

• Wash your hands after working on your bike.
• Our employees will wash their hands between each DIY shop user.

Because Idaho is still at a low risk, these precautions seem to be appropriate. If the threat level rises in Idaho, we've communicated with our Board some potential options.

• Limiting staff time at the shop and allowing people to work from

home when possible.

• Limiting or eliminating community DIY access to the shared use space

(tools and stands), but remaining open for shopping. This would include volunteer nights. We may be able to explore ways to take in bike repair as a service.

• Limiting all community access to the shop but allowing staff to

continue working on bikes that we could sell at a later date. During this time we can also work on shop updates, organization, and cleaning.

• Closing the shop and having employees work from home. There is

possibility of having mechanics work on bicycles from home. Some hours may need to be reduced or eliminated.

• Closing all operations.

Ride On!

*Clean tools, clean stands. *Since we share surface areas (tools and stands) at BBP, we will wiping used tools and each stand down between customers. 4.

*Gloves if you need them.* BBP will provide surgical gloves if you’d like to use them when working on your bike. Feel free to bring your own if you have them. 5.

*No food or drinks on the shop floor. *Since we are all trying to avoid touching our face area as much as possible, especially in community settings, we’re asking that you consume your food and beverages before or after you come to BBP. We will be providing free popcorn to go, but will ask that you wash your hands before taking a bag. 6.

*Be Cool Be Calm Ride On. *These are precautions, we are taking this seriously, and these are not reasons to panic. So keep riding and stay healthy because there has never been a better time to be on a bike.

*STIGMA AND RESILIENCE*

*Please read this article* https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/related-stigma.html about the danger of stigma and discrimination that can occur when people associate a disease, such as COVID-19, with a population or nationality, even though not everyone in that population or from that region is specifically at risk for the disease. *YOU CAN HELP*

Drop off your clean rags at BBP (old washed t-shirts, towels…) 2.

Extra soap, disinfectant, surface cleaner, wipes, hand sanitizer, surgical gloves, kleenex ? We’ll take em! 3.

Keep supporting all of your local nonprofits and businesses!

Ride On!

Hi,

We're monitoring the situation like many of you,

We're doing the small things like keeping clean; for now using extra paper towels instead of old, clean t-shirt for communal hand drying; considering the wipe down of tools, etc

Also talking about closing for a couple weeks, or whatever appropriate time length.

And we can use that time to do deep cleaning, bike building, organizing, and so on.

Maybe keeping some fix-it stations open?

...wanted to see what others are thinking?

Thanks, Bob Giordano, Free Cycles Missoula

Interesting ideas, Jeff. I am looking for good guidance on sanitizing, to little avail.

Also, re Peter@BikeClarkCounty's post, who wrote, "...We have spray bottles with 5:1 water bleach recommend ratio ..." That seemed a very high ratio; I found this from CDC https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/home/cleaning-disinfection.html (192 to 1 ratio) :

Prepare a bleach solution by mixing:

• 5 tablespoons (1/3rd cup) bleach per gallon of water or
• 4 teaspoons bleach per quart of water

OCBC posted yesterday that we would take measures but stay open. Reconsidering this approach, with the recent report of probable 100k infected individuals in Ohio.

What if we had spray bottles of alcohol or bleach solution and mist bikes/tools? Maybe a lot easier than wiping?

We aren’t handling every nook’n’cranny of things.

Can basic masks be used with the purpose of keeping hands off face. Can masks be re-used for this purpose? Can a bandana be used to keep hands off face? This wouldn’t be for air-filtering.

Is an alcohol or bleach-solution hand-dipping bucket effective and quicker than 20 secs of washing?

Thanks for the idea of leaving a pile of tubes and patches outside the door!

I kinda like the idea of one worker in shop at a time.

Our shop is a mess and we want to prep for spring here in Michigan.

We’re still sorting out how to respond. Yes, possible to spread if asymptomatic but very very unlikely? It spreads via cough/sneeze. If our core gang of 3, say, shows up and nobody is symptomatic it seems like we will be fine.

Ohio has 100k cases: high alert! MI has 2 cases known. Should MI be in a diff mode than OH?

Or should we all go to “stop all nonessential activity” mode to be safe? Tubes outside the shop can be done regardless — we have hundreds of excess tubes!

We’re talking 3 at a time — this is not a “big group.” It’s still doing social distancing but it’s not total isolation. We can use spray bottle w bleach to zap stuff to start. Not get close.

…Or should we do isolation? There are degrees in the isolation mode. Weekly groceries are essential. Keeping grocery open is not total isolation. Closing bike shop is not true isolation. So we’d stop all shop activity if that’s best. I’m in favor of over-responding now to do all we can to put the genie back in the bottle. Maybe for the next week or so? Adjust LATER. Go harder on the front end...

Shut the shop down. Quit getting people together. 👌

That is what everybody should do. Things are evolving rapidly. If today you have 2 cases, in 10 days it can be one thousand. This Sunday, in Portugal, nobody was thinking that it could be real. Today all the schools, restaurants, etc are closed. It can be very fast. Medical assistance is not prepared to take care of everyone at the same time - and in Italy they are already choosing whom to give oxygen and a bed.

So, don't contribute to spreading it, it is not essential.

Here's our text for COVID:

We thought it important to update you regarding Community Cycles’ response to the COVID19 situation.

Like all of you, we have been closely monitoring the reports of COVID-19. Please know that our number one priority is the safety, health, and well-being of our customers, members, volunteers and staff.

While we have not had a case in our building or people, for the potential safety of everyone, Community Cycles will be closed starting this Sunday, March 15th in response to the Coronavirus. At this point, the shop will remain closed for the rest of March, after which time we will re-evaluate.

Please hold off on all bike and part donations until after we re-open. Sue Prant Community Cycles Boulder, CO

Just a quick thought on 'essential services':

I think that community bicycle shops are essential for healthy, vibrant, socially just communities, in today's 'modern' age.... especially as a long term strategy to improve our cooperative systems.

Community bicycle shops are likely not essential as far as absolute survival and in the context of remaining open during this pandemic.

Hopefully we've all done enough community work to help people learn skills to work together and fix things, with our without a dedicated space.

Just wanted to put this thought out there, as many shops are deciding how to move forward.

Thanks, Bob Giordano, Free Cycles Missoula

At this point we are asking hourly folks to use PTO. Thanks to someone else's suggestion, we do have a few people building bikes at home. Salary staff is mostly admin & we are going to do all the things we never get to - update web site, writing enough blog posts to last a while, retooling reports, etc. We are running financial models on what we could pay people if this extends into April.

Thanks for this important point. At our shop, we've had almost a thousand individual participants come through in the last three years. If we did our job, that many people out there in the community should be able to influence repair capability citywide, even without access to the shop.

All,

We're still evaluating our response, but I agree it's pragmatic to take extreme measures earlier, if for no other reason than to spread out (ease) the burden on essential medical systems.

How are shops with employees paid hourly dealing with the notion of closing? Will employees stil be paid in some fashion, or are they essentially being laid off in the case of closures?

Jack-

You ought to reconsider. We can effect the transmission rate. The way to do that is to quit getting people together. You are putting first responders and health care workers at risk. Don't believe me? Ask one. Your programs are not a matter of life or death. 20% of people who get this need hospitalization.

Here's what Bike Walk Wichita posted:

Official statement from Kim Neufeld, Executive Director regarding COVID-19:

Bike Walk Wichita is closely monitoring the COVID-19 Pandemic. At this time, no changes will be made to events that take place outdoors. Indoor events will open based on best practices including spacing and appropriate social distance.

Social distancing is necessary to mitigate the spread of coronavirus—but I know social isolation is not easy. Bicycling and walking, whether for everyday transportation or recreation, are still safe activities, and I encourage you to keep riding and walking in Wichita and enjoying all of the benefits they provide to your physical, mental and environmental health. I also know how important it is to stay connected to community during challenging times, and that includes our #BikeWalkWichita friends and family. So join us, virtually or in person as you feel able so we can stay connected.

*Here are our upcoming events that we are planning to continue:*

and we list our ReCycle shop hours, other walking and biking events. Our county health department is not recommending businesses shut down, but instead is focused on larger events, over 250 people, as likely vectors, so we plan to provide for the needs of our constituents as much as we can.

Here's Recycle Ithaca's Bicycles decision/policy, posted last night.

For reference, April 13 is when public schools will be closed until here, and two of the projects mentioned below completed today and two others the day before. We have one project left, a father and daughter build project that is nearly done, but I doubt they will come in during this time. Also, we only have one or two volunteers and one person on staff (me) right now, though we were in the middle of hiring and new staff training for up to four people may be scheduled over this break, absent symptoms permitting. The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases here currently is one, and this is a city with three higher education institutions, one of them being Cornell, so it's likely the actual current infections are higher.

"Hi everyone,

We're all shuffling our cards in an attempt to come up with best practices for moving forward through this pandemic, and RIBs is committed to doing its best to make choices that help.

Here are the changes Recycle Ithaca's Bicycles will be implementing from Sunday, March 15, to Wednesday, April 13 in response to these conditions:

• Open shop will be closed. This means we will not be allowing any use of the space for public work on bikes. Exceptions will be made for the two or three people whose projects here are currently in progress.

• We will retain our normal hours, but for retail and volunteering only.

• Strict sanitary procedures will be enforced on the property and posted throughout the premises.

• Open shop on Saturday will be replaced with a weekly group ride (look for more details coming soon).

• Volunteer nights on Mondays are now closed.

• Some basic tools will be leashed to the racks outside the front of the shop for people to work on their own bikes.

• We will reassess all measures for COVID-19 on an ongoing basis, posting updates here and on the Tompkins County Human Services Listserv.

We greatly value all of our community and hope to resume open shop as soon as safety permits.

Please take care of yourselves."

I finally finished the outdoor workstation mentioned above a few days ago, so here are some pictures. I designed and built it over a binge work period of about 20 hours without sleep, food, water, or even a break X_X

More pics are available if anyone wants better details on any of the components.

Hope everyone is staying ok,

We're also using this method for tools, also ones we can stand to lose if they get stolen, but in the case of tools, old lock cables are either too short or not flexible enough, and so I went to the hardware store and bought 50ft of cable for about $20 total for the tools to be leashed with.

In all honesty, we've played with this idea for a long time before now and it's kind of cool to have an excuse to experiment with it.

At Our Community Bikes in Vancouver we have suspended all our public programs and activities. We no longer have used parts browsing, youth club programming, DIY stand use, instructional repairs, mentoring in life skills and job skills training, or any other group activities, or services that allow numbers to congregate. We have a dozen or more full time and full time part- time staff that we have to let go so they can collect unemployment insurance.

Our shop gets very crowded at this time of year and the risk to becoming a vector is too great. We are also considering staff, volunteer, and client safety in tandem, trying to balance a potential need to provide an essential service to those more marginalized than ourselves. We have a heavy demography of people in survival mode, and without an operational bike, they would be badly off. In light of a pandemic, their need for mobility is still great.

We have a one week trial with a small crew to do repairs on an appointment basis. We've setup a bunch of safety protocols and measures to reduce contamination incidents, but ultimately it's still a risk. And all in all, our shop will become solvent beyond 2 months of revenues lost. So yeah... capitalism. But if we do this and we don't have a revenue positive outcome, then we won't even last the 2 months closure.

Our governments on multiple levels haven't given us any concrete instructions for relief, only just some numbers that may or may not help us keep our doors open after this is over. Everything is up in the air.

Currently sending of training resources for mechanics and maybe some useful self help / self training online stuff, and drafting some operations procedures that we could implement to stay operating under lock door / appointment only scenario.

Our shop was hit hard by a forced move, a brain drain, a really bad winter, and a governance shuffle, and now this all withing 5 years after sailing for so long. It's been a 'one-two punch' kinda of time. My immediate thoughts are staying healthy enough that community bike shops in Vancouver flourish again after this pandemic.

Hi Carlyn,

at Free Cycles Missoula we've closed completely, not even doing emergency bikes/repairs/drop offs, anything. we'll have a good crop of sale bikes when we reopen, and a clean, organized shop.

Not doing outside public repair stands for the reasons you've mentioned.

We aim to reopen june 1st- could be earlier or later- we just wanted a date in our staff of 4's head.

Our staff of 4 are working safely and responsibly together, altho we've taken zones. We even have 4 separate doors, 3 separate bathrooms, each have a tool kit, etc. We're also mentally and physically prepared to stay away from the shop completely, if needed, which it looks more and more like.

Our staff have been making these nimble and quick decisions, keeping our small board up to date as needed, and they are supportive of what we need to do.

As we clean up around here, we're not doing 'free piles' outside (too much public handling of stuff). We're staging trash, thrift store, recycling piles. However we've had a couple trusted folks take scrap steel away.

We plan to reopen stronger than ever, and ultimately we feel that is best for us and the community. Missoula has been very supportive and understanding.

2 of us are also focusing on grants, all 4 of us are taking time to think deeply, to share writings, and slow down.

Bob Giordano, Free Cycles Missoula

Quoting Carlyn Arteaga carlyn.arteaga@bicas.org:

I appreciate you sharing all your thoughts and ideas.

At BICAS in Tucson we had to dismantle our outdoor fix a flat station. Staff working alone inside the shop witnessed clumps of people congregating very close to each other and at least one individual who was there for 3 hours coughing on everything. As much was we wanted to help people out, we couldn't justify the germ spreading station we had created.

We have approved a skeleton plan for opening for limited repair services in a couple weeks. How are others handling this? How do you do intakes? By appointment only or do you take walk ins? How are you protecting your people and the public? How are you sanitizing bikes you work on? And in what ways do you see your services as an "essential service," keeping in mind that any interfacing with the public right now involves some amount of risk, for which the ultimate potential consequence is death? Or if you have decided to remain closed, how did you arrive at that decision, knowing that there are people who need bike help and are not going to be able to access it?

I know these are the Big Questions (esp the last couple) we're all grappling with right now, I just wanted to have some frank conversations about why doing what we're doing right now so we can all chew it over.

Please be kind with one another as we respond. None of us has the playbook for this crisis or truly even enough data yet to know which decisions will end of being the right ones in the end. Thank you all in advance, ~Carlyn

Bob: Opening stronger than ever is right!

As of right now the Bike Library is closed, however, pending approval from our board, we would like to start offering a "curbside bike checkout" that is by appointment only.

As for other public-facing activities, we're open for retail, and customers are instructed not to touch anything except bikes that are being testridden. This is another area that we don't face significant traffic, we get possibly one or two customers per day at most in these times.

As for decontaminating bikes, I wipe down the seat, controls, grips, and top tube after each test ride, and when doing intake on a customer bike.

Speaking of customer bikes, we are not a shop that does repair for people, we only teach people how to do repairs themselves. However, recently we got a typical misguided question via Facebook about how much we charged for a given repair, and it occurred to me that since we weren't allowing people to repair the bikes themselves, and had a decrease in things to do as a result of closing open shop, we might as well accept bikes for repair during this period. This is not something we advertise anywhere other than in direct response to a spontaneous request, and we make it clear to each customer that this is not a regular thing. We've had three customers of this type thus far. I feel that this transactional dynamic is one that's very easy create as a controlled process, and decontaminating bikes under this circumstance is trivial. Just another technical thing to do to a bike among the usual array of procedures.

As for classification as an essential service, automobile repair garages are typically classified as essential services. We are a transportation provider and as assist to people who use their bikes to buy groceries and keep medical appointments. Bicycles are not a luxury and they are not primarily a recreational toy, they are a fundamental life utility and in some cases people rely on them to survive.

I queried Claire from Vélorution Paris deliberately here to provide an example to the list of recognition that bicycles are an essential service - the city of Paris recognizes this. As of a few days ago, New York City does now as well.

Of course, this means that if we *are* an essential service, this makes it even more imperative that we create and adhere to strict protocols to protect the community we serve even as we struggle to empower them.

Stay strong, healthy and hopeful cyclistas!

Hi Carlyn,

at Free Cycles Missoula we've closed completely, not even doing emergency bikes/repairs/drop offs, anything. we'll have a good crop of sale bikes when we reopen, and a clean, organized shop.

Not doing outside public repair stands for the reasons you've mentioned.

We aim to reopen june 1st- could be earlier or later- we just wanted a date in our staff of 4's head.

Our staff of 4 are working safely and responsibly together, altho we've taken zones. We even have 4 separate doors, 3 separate bathrooms, each have a tool kit, etc. We're also mentally and physically prepared to stay away from the shop completely, if needed, which it looks more and more like.

Our staff have been making these nimble and quick decisions, keeping our small board up to date as needed, and they are supportive of what we need to do.

As we clean up around here, we're not doing 'free piles' outside (too much public handling of stuff). We're staging trash, thrift store, recycling piles. However we've had a couple trusted folks take scrap steel away.

We plan to reopen stronger than ever, and ultimately we feel that is best for us and the community. Missoula has been very supportive and understanding.

2 of us are also focusing on grants, all 4 of us are taking time to think deeply, to share writings, and slow down.

I appreciate you sharing all your thoughts and ideas.

At BICAS in Tucson we had to dismantle our outdoor fix a flat station. Staff working alone inside the shop witnessed clumps of people congregating very close to each other and at least one individual who was there for 3 hours coughing on everything. As much was we wanted to help people out, we couldn't justify the germ spreading station we had created.

We have approved a skeleton plan for opening for limited repair services in a couple weeks. How are others handling this? How do you do intakes? By appointment only or do you take walk ins? How are you protecting your people and the public? How are you sanitizing bikes you work on? And in what ways do you see your services as an "essential service," keeping in mind that any interfacing with the public right now involves some amount of risk, for which the ultimate potential consequence is death? Or if you have decided to remain closed, how did you arrive at that decision, knowing that there are people who need bike help and are not going to be able to access it?

I know these are the Big Questions (esp the last couple) we're all grappling with right now, I just wanted to have some frank conversations about why doing what we're doing right now so we can all chew it over.

Please be kind with one another as we respond. None of us has the playbook for this crisis or truly even enough data yet to know which decisions will end of being the right ones in the end. Thank you all in advance, ~Carlyn

Thanks everybody. I know many of us have had to make a new decision every two days with the changing world around us so quickly.

BICAS has 14 hourly wage staff, all of whom can still be paid by coming in to refurbish bikes at the shop that will eventually be for sale after all this is over, as long as they work far away from each other and clean and disinfect everything after. Our Community Tools, classes, and retails spaces have been shut down since mid-March, which is a heavy financial burden. We are applying for local emergency grants and probably also for the CARES Act loan.

We have also decided to re-open mid-April for extremely limited services - no members of the public will be allowed into the building, but staff will provide sliding scale repairs to make bikes safe and rideable (no needless changes and upgrades), prioritizing frontliners whose bike is their main mode of transportation and/or people who cannot afford repairs at retail shops (many of which never closed here in Arizona because our governor has declared almost everything "essential" *eye roll emoji*.)

I am still concerned about the prospect of people congregating outside the building, but we have said if it becomes an issue, we will have to close the shop completely again and disband everyone.

Can anyone else who is staying open/providing some services respond about your safety protocols? How do you space folks apart? Do you wipe down bikes that come in? Do you cover the handlebars with something? Do you use DIY masks? We would love to benefit from everyone's collective creativity on "risk management." Thank you.

Our Community Bikes is opened for limited hours with only the service department operating through appointments only. We will be expanding our service hours next week. We have a very large base of low income and front line working riders, so we would like to meet their needs, while monitoring our potential to be a vector.

We have distancing protocols, and disinfecting protocols now in place. These were pieced together with the help of both our federal health guidelines, WHO and CDC, and as they work for the Red Cross, have also have some of these protocols. Most of the recommendations are similar anyhow.

Cleaning protocols

Refer to CDC interim recommendations here:

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/organizations/cleaning-d...

OCB General Enhanced Protocol

Staff and volunteers who are not feeling well are asked to stay home

Door signage reminding clients and visitors who are not feeling well or who suspect they have been exposed to COVID-19 to stay home and not come inside

The door to the shop should be locked and clients are asked to knock as we won’t be answering the phone to capacity

Appointments are necessary, as we will minimize the number of people coming through the shop who are not able to receive service.

Staff must maintain the recommended 2m distance for social distancing at all times.

There will be a taped line on the floor to help observe this at the front counter. Enter the required amount on the electronic transaction machine and step away from the counter to allow the customer to approach.

Wipe down common services between each client (e.g. debit machine pinpad, register keys, keyboard, mouse, pens, counter, doorknob).

An alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains 60%-95% alcohol content should be available for all clients upon entering the shop.

When possible, we will equip staff with personal protective equipment like gloves and masks.

To consider

If we have any forms or paperwork that normally require sign-off, we should look at whether we can adapt that process (e.g. verbal confirmation rather than requiring a signature)

Staff will do an assessment of areas of risk within the shop and follow procedures to minimize the risk. Some areas of detail like dirty rags, disinfecting the disinfecting spray bottle, phones, doorknobs, toilet plunger, keypads, keyboards, keyboard mice, electronics buttons, tool cases and tools, drawer knobs, cash register keys and trays, keys, bin handles, etc

Where necessary, additional measures will be put in place in accordance with recommendations of public health officials.

Cleaning surfaces:

Wear disposable gloves and fist spray down with soapy water

Wipe clear with a clean disposable towel and spray with disinfectant

• (70% plus IsoPropyl Alcohol or diluted bleach solution of 4 teaspoons per quart of water)

  WARNING : Do NOT MIX IsoPropyl with bleach! This will create chloroform and hydrochloric acid, as well as chloroacetone or dichloroacetone. These compounds can cause damage to the nervous system, lungs, kidneys, liver, eyes, and skin.)

Let sit and wipe

Dispose of used towel / rag in garbage as well as the gloves

Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water for a minimum of 20 seconds

Cleaning tools and tool cases:

Wear disposable gloves and fist spray down with soapy water

Wipe clear with a clean disposable towel and spray with disinfectant

• (70% plus IsoPropyl Alcohol or diluted bleach solution of 4 teaspoons per quart of water)

  WARNING : Do NOT MIX IsoPropyl with bleach! This will create chloroform and hydrochloric acid, as well as chloroacetone or dichloroacetone. These compounds can cause damage to the nervous system, lungs, kidneys, liver, eyes, and skin.)

Let sit and wipe

Dispose of used towel / rag in garbage as well as the gloves

Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water for a minimum of 20 seconds

Cleaning bikes on drop off:

Receive bike and use a wheel prop to stand bike in place

Wear disposable gloves and fist spray down with soapy water

Wipe clear with a clean disposable towel and spray with disinfectant

• (70% plus IsoPropyl Alcohol or diluted bleach solution of 4 teaspoons per quart of water)

  WARNING : Do NOT MIX IsoPropyl with bleach! This will create chloroform and hydrochloric acid, as well as chloroacetone or dichloroacetone. These compounds can cause damage to the nervous system, lungs, kidneys, liver, eyes, and skin.)

Let sit and wipe

Dispose of used towel / rag in garbage as well as the gloves

Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water for a minimum of 20 seconds

Continue with intake

Cleaning bikes at pick up:

After work is completed use a wheel prop to stand bike in place

Wear disposable gloves and fist spray down with soapy water

Wipe clear with a clean disposable towel and spray with disinfectant

• (70% plus IsoPropyl Alcohol or diluted bleach solution of 4 teaspoons per quart of water)

  WARNING : Do NOT MIX IsoPropyl with bleach! This will create chloroform and hydrochloric acid, as well as chloroacetone or dichloroacetone. These compounds can cause damage to the nervous system, lungs, kidneys, liver, eyes, and skin.)

Let sit and wipe

Dispose of used towel / rag in garbage as well as the gloves

Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water for a minimum of 20 seconds

After payment is processed direct client to maneuver the bike out of the building

Cleaning parts for individual sale

Wipe clear with a clean disposable towel and spray with disinfectant

• (70% plus IsoPropyl Alcohol or diluted bleach solution of 4 teaspoons per quart of water)

  WARNING : Do NOT MIX IsoPropyl with bleach! This will create chloroform and hydrochloric acid, as well as chloroacetone or dichloroacetone. These compounds can cause damage to the nervous system, lungs, kidneys, liver, eyes, and skin.)

Let sit and wipe

Dispose of used towel / rag in garbage as well as the gloves

Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water for a minimum of 20 seconds

Outstanding tasks

Tape customer limits at till, and outside the door for line up if required?

Communications

Some important messaging

The health and safety of our staff, volunteers and clients is our top priority.

We recognize that access to bikes is important for physical and mental health, and that for many people cycling provides a social distancing alternative to public transportation. With that in mind we are looking at ways to adjust the way the shop works to continue to serve the community.

We encourage everyone to follow all recommendations outlined by the Public Health Agency of Canada. What you can do to prevent illness:

Regularly wash your hands with warm water and soap, or use hand sanitizer for at least 20 seconds

Avoid close contact with people who are sick

Frequently clean and disinfect common surfaces like desk, countertops, doorknobs, phones, remote controls, keyboards, and phones

Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth

Practise social distancing – staying home as much as possible and keeping 2 metres between you and others

Monitor your personal health and stay home if you are sick, even if your symptoms are mild

Remember to be aware of the spread of misinformation. Credible sources of information about COVID-19 include www.canada.ca/coronavirus, www.bccdc.ca or via the dedicated COVID-19 line at 1-888-COVID19.

I can talk to you more about this if you would like. We are working on this too. We have a pretty extensive Safety Precautions document and we are open for appointment-only bike repair with our Bike Shop.

In short, we do do these steps below for safety in the Bike Shop (with some other steps for other areas of our org) We closed everything to the public in early March in an 'abundance of caution' to figure out what is going on with the COVID situation and last week 're-opened' with appointment only services, an ecommerce store and we have been doing a bunch of posting of special parts, frames, and bikes on eBay. Also we are still doing bike giveaways to low-income individuals by appointment-only or through community partners that are providing essential services. (FYI Seattle as of March 25 is in a "Stay-at-Home" mandate and a limited list of things have been deemed 'essential services)

*BIKE SHOP SAFETY PRACTICES*

Bike Works Bike Shop is CLOSED to the public- No entry into our facilities is allowed by members of the public

Repair service(s) are offered by appointment only. Customers can email or phone to schedule their appointment and discuss the services they think are in need. Payment will be taken over the phone when work is completed or through our website. We are giving 50% discounts on repairs ( parts and labor) for grocery store workers, medical staff and social services professionals providing other essential services.

We will follow these steps for safety precautions:

1.) Customers will drop their bicycles at the porch and lock up using the provided combination word lock. Locks will be sanitized each time a staff person uses it. Word locks will have their combination changed at the start of each day with a record kept of each word used and on which day.

2.) Mechanics will disinfect the bikes before bringing them into the shop, assess the best service for the bicycle and call the customer to confirm service needed

3.) Once repairs are completed the bikes will be disinfected again, customers will be called to arrange pick up and we will return to the porch and lock up with combo lock. *Point person for this process: Lead Mechanic

4.) Mechanics will use gloves at all times while working on bicycles

5.) Physical Distancing *must *be used in the workplace of at least 6 feet at all times. One mechanic will work using the stands on the sales floor while a second will occupy the upper level Sun Room. Mechanics can access the shop through separate doorways to mitigate exposure (porch entrance and side door to Blue Room).

6.) Shared spaces such as the bathroom and office will be cleaned with each use. The office computer will be used *only* for business-related needs. Personal use while on break, etc. will be prohibited. Please refrain from using the kitchenette to prepare food.

7.) Clean AND disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces such as workstations, keyboards, telephones, handrails, phones and doorknobs. Dirty surfaces should be cleaned with soap and water prior to disinfection.

8.) Avoid using other employees’ phones, desks, offices, or other work tools and equipment, when possible. If necessary, clean and disinfect them before and after use.

Here is an article from the Seattle Bike Blog about this https://www.seattlebikeblog.com/2020/03/30/bike-works-reopens-shop-by-appoin...

I hope this helps. Also, I should say- our Safety Precaution document is a working document and will change as the CDC or state or local public health or government officials recommend more / different things... like masks-- or whatever might come next and will also continue to incorporate any changes that staff think we should make to our practices to make them more safe.

Thanks

Carlyn: I appreciate you asking for folks to respond kindly. I'll be asking this of our volunteers and patrons who've been somewhat gruff.

Bob: Opening stronger than ever is right!

As of right now the Bike Library is closed, however, pending approval from our board, we would like to start offering a "curbside bike checkout" that is by appointment only.

Here is the link to those documents. Check out the one titled: Proposal for Curbside Checkout.

I've been worried about our workstation becoming a contamination depot, of course. All public surfaces, even if they are decontaminated regularly, will be to some extent.

However, there is a significant percentage of our target demographic that relies on us for daily survival, and mainly I refer to the homeless. These are people who, if they didn't have our workstation, would just be doing some other sketchy thing contamination-wise to stay operational.

The other sectors of our demographic don't need this kind of help, and probably have their own air pumps and remedial tools at home. I'm at the shop alone several times a week, and have a good idea who uses the station and when. Honestly, I don't think it's really being used except by a handful of solitary people, and they're mostly using the air pump.

As for other public-facing activities, we're open for retail, and customers are instructed not to touch anything except bikes that are being testridden. This is another area that we don't face significant traffic, we get possibly one or two customers per day at most in these times.

As for decontaminating bikes, I wipe down the seat, controls, grips, and top tube after each test ride, and when doing intake on a customer bike.

Speaking of customer bikes, we are not a shop that does repair for people, we only teach people how to do repairs themselves. However, recently we got a typical misguided question via Facebook about how much we charged for a given repair, and it occurred to me that since we weren't allowing people to repair the bikes themselves, and had a decrease in things to do as a result of closing open shop, we might as well accept bikes for repair during this period. This is not something we advertise anywhere other than in direct response to a spontaneous request, and we make it clear to each customer that this is not a regular thing. We've had three customers of this type thus far. I feel that this transactional dynamic is one that's very easy create as a controlled process, and decontaminating bikes under this circumstance is trivial. Just another technical thing to do to a bike among the usual array of procedures.

As for classification as an essential service, automobile repair garages are typically classified as essential services. We are a transportation provider and as assist to people who use their bikes to buy groceries and keep medical appointments. Bicycles are not a luxury and they are not primarily a recreational toy, they are a fundamental life utility and in some cases people rely on them to survive.

I queried Claire from Vélorution Paris deliberately here to provide an example to the list of recognition that bicycles are an essential service - the city of Paris recognizes this. As of a few days ago, New York City does now as well.

Of course, this means that if we *are* an essential service, this makes it even more imperative that we create and adhere to strict protocols to protect the community we serve even as we struggle to empower them.

Stay strong, healthy and hopeful cyclistas!

Hi Carlyn,

at Free Cycles Missoula we've closed completely, not even doing emergency bikes/repairs/drop offs, anything. we'll have a good crop of sale bikes when we reopen, and a clean, organized shop.

Not doing outside public repair stands for the reasons you've mentioned.

We aim to reopen june 1st- could be earlier or later- we just wanted a date in our staff of 4's head.

Our staff of 4 are working safely and responsibly together, altho we've taken zones. We even have 4 separate doors, 3 separate bathrooms, each have a tool kit, etc. We're also mentally and physically prepared to stay away from the shop completely, if needed, which it looks more and more like.

Our staff have been making these nimble and quick decisions, keeping our small board up to date as needed, and they are supportive of what we need to do.

As we clean up around here, we're not doing 'free piles' outside (too much public handling of stuff). We're staging trash, thrift store, recycling piles. However we've had a couple trusted folks take scrap steel away.

We plan to reopen stronger than ever, and ultimately we feel that is best for us and the community. Missoula has been very supportive and understanding.

2 of us are also focusing on grants, all 4 of us are taking time to think deeply, to share writings, and slow down.
