Bike collective meeting!!!!!!!!!!

Lets meet, hang out, and make plans. We want to schedule work days, workshops, fundraisers, and a maintenance day.
Maybe there is a better day to meet? ( we want more people to show up)
Its would be nice to learn new skills. ( Maybe you could do a workshop)
- welding
-truing wheels
-fixing brakes
- anything really
We still don't have enough funds to buy a tool set ( lets have an awesome FUNdraiser!)
And our roof caved in again ( we could schedule a day to fix the roof... permanently? with all this rain, a tarp roof just don't cut it! )

Tue. June 9th 7pm at the Firefly 219 NE 20th st

Come out and help create a sort of collective you want to see.

Planning a fundraiser

Hey everyone. The bike collective has been running smoothly since our last meeting. We've been able to turn out bikes on a weekly basis and hope to continue on this trend. We running low on funds and are planning our next fund raiser. If anyone has any ideas, we are open to them. We hope to make it a fun experience so bands, games, and other types of ideas are encouraged. This is our wish list. These are tools that we keep needing while doing a repair and would love to be able to finish bike completely here without trips to the bike shop. There is usually someone here to receive donations.

Derailleur cable and housing
Brake cable and housing
Headset wrench
Freewheel tool(s)
Spoke wrench

BIKE COLLECTIVE MEETING!!!

UPDATE UPDATE

We have been having some good turn outs. People have been coming out pretty regularly, and their bike are almost complete! We are glad to have some more participation. Art Basel was pretty awesome around the neighborhood. We lent out a small troupe of community bikes for those who came from out of town. The community bike project went well for it's first run and is now continuous. Those interested in borrowing out a bike can contact us on the firefly website or can try us at the house phone. We have been having tall bike workshops with the help of our new friend Chris. Four community tall bikes are in the works. We still need more people who are interested in being apart of the collective. We are also looking for different projects to work on or for people who want to put together workshops. We always welcome donations and want to meet other people who know how to write for grants that might want to lend us a hand. All and all
the bike collectives wallet is getting pretty thin. we are thinking about throwing another fundraiser? ...Any ideas? Let us know!
