bike co-op, saturday, sept. 10, 12-3p.m.
This is short notice, but this is a multi-phased project that must get started asap.
Phase 1:
Revolutions Community Bicycle Shop will host a Bicycle Check-Up Clinic this Saturday afternoon from 12 until 3 p.m. We are encouraging Memphians to bring their bikes in for a basic safety check and tune-up. This will enable commuters to make short trips around the city by bike amidst sky high gas prices.
This Clinic also offers a time for displaced residents in need of reliable transportation to pick out a bicycle.
At this time, we are enocouraging as many people as possible to donate bikes--their is a serious need for reliable transportation, especially amongst displaced college students.
Phase 2:
We are gearing up to make a serious bike drive for dispalced NOLA residents who have ended up in the Memphis area without reliable/affordable transporation. Granted, a bike can't get you from Germantown to Midtown (at least not comfortably), but this at least will help people out transporation-wise on smaller, community levels.
And that's what the bike co-op is there for: community.
So, with that said, we would seriously appreciate any donations of unused bikes, bike parts and/or your time in working with us.
SPREAD THE WORD!
Revolutions maintains regular shop hours every Sunday afternoon from 2-5 p.m.
