Broke Spoke here in Lexington, Kentucky has officially suspended all operations out of concern for our volunteers and their families. We tried offering only drop off repairs but realized even that was asking too much from our volunteers. To the rest of you out there, stay safe and try and take care of each other the best you can.

We just suspended all public services at BICAS in Tucson AZ today. :( Does anyone have a brilliant design for a pump that can be left outside that is less likely to get stolen/mangled??
Sending best wishes out to all our community bikes buddies in these uncertain times.

Free Cycles Missoula closed immediately last week after we asked 'what are others thinking?'.
We decided to not have people gather at all here, even outside the shop with tools/pump.
We did however lock an emergency bike in front, a couple times so far, for a couple people with emergency needs. We did the same with a couple 'people's project' bikes that were very close to ridable, and the person could come take it away at their convenience.
There is a mutual aid group that just formed here in Missoula, and we are working with them to find safe and responsible ways to continue 'emergency service'.
Missoula is very walkable, fortuneately.
We also had a local foundation reach out and ask, 'How are you doing?' She indicated that their foundation will be looking to help non profits very soon. I imagine foundations everywhere are discussing the same thing. Please be in touch with any and all funding agencies, as help is likely to come to those that help others.
Missoula County just 'forbear' the next round of loan payments (we utilized one of their economic development loans to purchase this property), so that helps us too.
Let's continue to try to help each other, as we can!

Attached is a flyer that our local trails group developed in conjunction with the County health department. You may want to post it on your door.
