28 January Update

Good evening,
On our last workday for Biloxi bikes we managed to get only a few more bikes out, bringing our total to 35. I would like to see if the local bike shops could repair a few more for us so we can get the total up to 50. I've come across a church in Biloxi and may be able to wrangle something through my local church to get them there.

Our website is down for a few days due to homelessness - the host provider went out of business. A new site has been found and the content is being transferred. It should be up by Friday.

This Friday Feb 3 will be the Critical Mass ride at 5pm in front of the Lair. We're planning a party for afterwards at the shop in Grand Central Station with various fun movies (Human Power and Transportation themes). Hope to see you there.

On Saturday the shop will be open for volunteers who want to help fix up the remaining Biloxi bikes, and members who want to work on their own bikes. The shop doesn't have tools, so you'll need to bring your own. We are selling memberships to raise money to buy tools, once we do we'll offer free classes to members in how to use them properly and you'll basically get access to hundreds of dollars worth of tools for $24/year. Members also get free access to our stock of recycled parts.

We've decided to add morning hours for working on the Biloxi bikes. The schedule is:
9am - 1pm Biloxi Bikes
1pm - 5pm Open shop (bring your own tools, the shop doesn't have any yet)

Hope to see you then.
Nick
