Good evening,After returning from a week-long road trip (Florida to drive a car back for friends, Apex NC to inspect a school site for June bike classes, Raleigh to pick up a new bike, Martinsville to spend a few days with raw-food friends and Charlottesville for an LCI seminar) today was my first full day in the shop. I expected it to be quiet for a while before people discovered I was back, but apparently there was a lot of pent-up demand. We had calls starting early in the morning to donate ,borrow and buy bikes. Also lots of students are choosing to do their volunteer hours with us before going off on Spring break. This afternoon we had a particularly memorable customer brought to us by connecting link (ph 304-296-3300) who needs to get to work at a night-shift job in Sabreton on bike. It turned out we had the perfect bike for her, and accessories to go along with it. We'll be getting her fitted out tomorrow. This is just the kind of thing we are here for, and we hope to get more referrals from Connecting Link now that they know about us.
This week we begin our Spring bike collection to get us enough bikes for the Summer. We'll need a LOT at the rate they're going out the door. If you (or anyone you know) have bikes you aren't using and you'd like to see them find a good home please send them our way.
On Friday afternoon from 1-5pm we'll be doing a big strip party at the warehouse. Just to clear things up, this means we'll be stripping usable parts off unrepairable bikes. This is very labor intensive, but fun when you have plenty of people doing it. If you're available please give a call to the shop and we'll sign you up, we'd love to have your help.
Thanks,
Nick
