Weekly Update: Shop cleaning; Bike donations; Juneteenth Freedom Ride; Moonlight rides

Posted by Sarthak Prasad on June 21, 2021

All, Made some progress last week on the surplus of scrap bikes that we’d been accumulating. Shop is looking cleaner. Thanks to Todd for picking that up this weekend. We got seven bikes donated from Champaign Cycle, which I was able to pick up on the bike trailer. One of those bikes was a very quick fix and is on the floor ready to be sold. We replaced a damaged fork and now the bike is orange and blue—how appropriate!
I interviewed and began the hiring process for a new student worker.
The community bike ride season is well underway as there was a Juneteenth Freedom Ride last Saturday and two moonlight rides happening this week—one on Friday and one on Wednesday. We’ll talk that up to any visitors this week.

The numbers:
Visitors: 16
Sales: $508
Bikes (refurb): 2 for $290
Memberships: 2 for $60
Misc: 7 for $41

Thanks!
