Good evening,
It was a big day at the shop today. On Friday we had the first Critical Mass ride of the year with 5 people showing up. Nearly everyone continued up to the shop afterwards to help get the place spiffed up for this month's big events - the Jan 14 Helmet/Lock day and the Jan 28 Biloxi Bike fixup day (our goal is to have 100 bikes ready to ride and shipped to the Gulf Coast at the end of this month).
This weekend's effort included stripping and recycling old bikes and frames, sheetrock repair, painting, cleaning, reorganizing and craft projects. Thanks to Carmen, Scott, Will, Joe, Tiger Joe, Gibran, Ivan, John and several people who came by to drop off bikes. We put fluorescent bulbs in all the old commercial fixtures so there is light everywhere. As a result we saw that there was dirt and grime everywhere too so we cleaned and vacuumed the whole place. We've hauled the junk out of the office and made it a little more workable. We completely rearranged the parts room to take advantage of the light and space better (next project is to organize the stock). All of the collected Biloxi bikes (about 60 so far) have been reorganized and we're ready for more. About 30 bikes will be coming from the Morgantown Police impound lot this week.
Also this week we'll be publicizing next weekend's helmet/lock day at which we'll offer helmets and locks at discounted prices (anyone who brings in a coupon from the Christian Help event will receive theirs free). We could still use some help with final preparations, if you've got time in the evenings this week please give me a call at 599-1791. Nick
