Service Tickets and Bike Tags
Good Afternoon, I am wondering if bike collectives and shops could share what they are using for service tickets or slips when a bike is being purchased, when preparing a bike to sell, when people drop off a bike to be fixed/tuned and/or a bike that was donated?
Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Amanda, here's the checklist I'm developing. It's meant to be printed like a zine, and tucked into a vinyl ticket holder hanging from the bars of each bike. I've gotten really positive responses to it from the folks who have used it, especially novice mechanics, and I've actually found it really helpful myself. Would love feedback from y'all as well!

Most of the checklists I've seen either seem to be optimized to fit onto as little a piece of paper as humanly possible, meaning that they're cluttered and hard to use and sometimes also very terse, or they're too comprehensive and therefore packed and cluttered and unreadable. I approached this as a teaching / learning tool, not just a checklist, so I feel great about giving more space for it. Yes, it's a few pieces of paper. But this is an educational tool, and anyway, we have bigger fish to fry.
FYI though, it's oriented at building or refurbing a bike or giving a real tune-up, as opposed to a quick once over (still working on that version).

Hi-
We’re a young bike co-op and want to set up a donation area/pen in a park. The park closes at dark, so there’s not much risk of theft/defacement. Does anyone have pictures of or ideas for donation areas? I was thinking like a little pen about the size of a parking spot. Any help with ideas for signage would be much appreciated as well.
Thanks very much,
Greg Ferguson Brookhaven Bike Co-op 8 Flower Fields, Unit 18 St. James, NY 11780
Thank you so much for sharing these resources, Josh. I will take a look and offer any feedback I may have. Thank you again!

Yes, Josh, thanks for the work!
Will send our "Work needs assessment" checklist when that is finished, but here is another "what-to" for comparison with yours.

Amanda,
Attached is what we at The Bike Project use. These are heavy-duty laminated and thus reusable. They measure approximately 9" x 3". People tend to scribble illegibly for their personal info but other than that, they've worked great!

Hi Josh,
I was going through the Zine and it is a great source of inspiration. I'm considering a french translation of it :) Was this the latest version of the Zine?
Many thanks for sharing this amazing work!
