If you've been following things here or in the shop you've heard me mention that we now have classes lined up in 2 WV schools (Charleston and Martinsburg) as well as Apex NC in June. In addition we have local bike rodeos for MCCAC, Ridgedale School, Girl Scouts and of course Tradeup Day April 17. Although those days may seem far away it's we have to start ordering helmets, pins, literature and lights for those events now so we have time to get them shipped here, and before they run out. Our income from recycled bikes is almost nothing at this time of year, so this is a shameless plea to ask you to renew your membership or make a donation to help us pay for these items. Also, if you have spare time please come in and work in the office to help apply for grants and assist with the planning for the year. It's mostly me and I could really use the help and encouragement.
Yesterday's Dominion Post featured this letter from a visiting Nebraskan who was appalled by the poor state of snow clearing in our fair city and gave a few suggestions for improving it. It serves as a good reminder that, although Mountaineers should always be free to work for their own future, no one is free from the responsibility of ensuring the safety of those around them - other motorists, pedestrians and cyclists who need to get places too.
