This week we’ll still be working through the donations we’ve accrued in the last few weeks.

Weekly Update
Associated Project(s):All, Uneventful week to report on. Real Feel temp all week was hovering near or above triple digits. Not a lot of folks out riding in that weather. We were closed on Wednesday for Juneteenth and had shorted hours on Monday due to a conference I was attending.
Tonight is the Bike Project member’s meeting, which I’ll attend.

Jacob Benjamin
Coordinator -- Campus Bike CenterWeekly Update
Associated Project(s):All, Apologies for the delay. Pretty uneventful week. I was out at a conference on Thursday and Friday. My staff handled shop hours on Friday without issue. Made some more headway in the abandoned bike pile but also got half dozen or so direct donations as well. So, we’ve got our work cut out for us this week in processing all those.
I spent some time last week turning bars/pulling pedals on the bikes we do have here in an effort to maximize space. We’ll spend staff time this week checking over those bikes, so they can be earmarked for the Build-a-Bike program and be much easier to identify by staff and the untrained eye.
We will be closed tomorrow for Juneteenth and reopen on Friday.
The numbers:
Visitors: 6
Sales: $366.50
Memberships: 1 for $30
Bikes (refurb): 1 for $90
Bikes (B-a-B): 1 for $50
Tires/tubes: 17 for $125Thanks!
