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.

Crank puller
Cone wrench set
Derailleur cable and housing
Brake cable and housing
Headset wrench
Freewheel tool(s)
Spoke wrench
Bottom bracket pin(s)
Bottom bracket socket tool
Chain whip

BIKE COLLECTIVE MEETING!!!

Come make plans for the future. Thursday... this one... 8pm at the Firefly.

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!

Hello ya'll!

The bike collective needs you're help! We want your suggestions on tools we should buy, skills you want to learn, and things you think we should be providing for the community etc. So far we only have about 3 dedicated volunteers, but that is very limiting. We have created this space in order for cyclists of all types to come learn, teach and hopefully walk away with some golden treasures hidden in our damp little cave of donated bikes and parts. If you have an idea for an event we should put on, that you would like to put on, or ways for you to volunteer and help that aren't on our traditional 2-6pm Saturday schedule just e-mail us back!

** As an update were very happy to announce our community bike project!!

In town? No bike? We have a small fleet of community bikes ready to be ridden and enjoyed by all! From road bikes, to hybrids, single/fixed road conversions…contact us for more details.
