  1. Bike for Earth Day 2025 Location Conflicts

    C-U Bike to Work Day

    The Alma Mater Plaza welcoming center for Bike for Earth Day was moved to Graziano Plaza (plaza between the Engineering Hall and Everitt) because of a scheduled climate march and the March for Science rally. Morgan White was able to reserve Graziano Plaza for volunteers to hand out Bike Lights and Bike Month T-shirts to attendees. For future Bike for Earth Day events, it may be easier to move the welcoming center locations to actual reservable spaces.

    Campus Bike Center

    Last week was decidedly unbusy, surprisingly! Easter weekend made for a quieter Friday.

    We have two new student staff joining us this week or next. Should have a couple weeks to train them up before they forget everything over the summer. Summer learning loss isn’t just for book-learning!

     

    Warmer weather this week should bump our visit numbers. Tomorrow is a bike light giveaway, which we’ll mention to folks who come in today. Elsewhere, still turning out the bikes and hovering around 20 fixed up and ready for sale.

    The numbers:
    Visitors: 65
    Sales: $405.50
    Memberships: 5 for $150
    Tires/tubes: 10 for $83

    Things are picking up and to meet demand, we’ll work on getting some more bikes for sale. We did have nice 3 speed Build-a-Bike finished this week. 

    Hoped to have a few more bikes done this last week but all of the ones I safety checked failed and then some—damaged wheels/broken components—but such is the plight of repairing old bikes. 

    Tonight is the Bike Project Monthly Members Meeting. 

    This week is our first Bike Center on the Quad Day. Fingers crossed for good weather and a good turnout!

    The numbers:

    Visitors: 59
    Sales: $328
    Bikes (refurb): 1 for $150
    Bikes (B-a-B): 1 for $50
    Memberships: 2 for $60
    Tires/tubes: 5 for $24
