14 February Update

Happy Valentine's Day,
The website is now up, it looks a little rough but we have a WVU student working on getting it polished. At present there is just a front page with no subordinate pages, but these are in work.
On Wednesday night (Feb 15) there will be a shop night from 5-7 pm - I'll try it a little earlier and see if anyone else shows up. If we get good attendance the midweek date will continue. We are now offering memberships to anyone who wants to use the shop for fixing their own bikes. Dues will pay for shop tools. Members receive free access to recycled parts, use of the shop and tools and we are working on discounts with local bike shops. Look for more info in the upcoming newsletter.

We have about 50 bikes ready to go to Biloxi but are still looking for transportation. If you plan on driving South over Spring Break and would like to get free one-way transportation drop me an email at info@positivespin.org. Our police bikes have been delayed - we hope to get them next week.

There are several new articles up at the shop bulletin board about other community bike shops that have sent bikes to the Gulf Coast. Also an article about Plan B which mentions Morgantown having sent bikes - right along with Chicago and Phoenix.

This Saturday the shop will be open 10-5, with public time from 1-5. We will be starting a pedal car restoration project. This pedalcar will be our visual aid for public events at the Mall in April and during May bike month. Come help out if you can.

Thanks!
