I'm writing this at the end of a very eventful day. We had things going on at once:
1) Tau Beta Pi - repairing bikes for Tradeup Day, preparing bikes for overseas shipment. Shown below is the morning work crew getting bikes stripped for parts to send overseas.
2) Fun Day with MCCAC at Mountaineer Mall - Bike Clinic (assisted by TBP volunteers). There was a good turnout, shown below is the family that won a bike from Positive Spin in the grand prize drawing. This is a Latino immigrant family and I suspect this was a big deal for them. On the left are 2 of our TBP volunteers who helped with the afternoon bike clinic.
3) Usual bike repair and recycling at the shop. We had a number of people come in for bikes and repair while we were supervising engineering students who ably cleaned and repaired kids bikes for next Saturday's Bike Tradeup day. Make your plans now.
4) Supporting the Clarksburg Bike Rodeo (in conjunction with collegiate roadbike racing). Yesterday we dropped off bikes for them to use on a course they've constructed using the League-recommended layout. Early reports are that it was a big hit with large crowds of kids.
Thanks to a full complement of VERY enthusiastic volunteers we were able to get it all done with everyone enjoying it fully. If you were one of them THANK YOU and come back again soon. If you weren't one of them come in soon and find out how fun and gratifying it can be.
Nick
