    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

    Illini Lights Out

    At this Friday's Illinii Lights Out event! With your help, 3470 light bulbs were shut off that otherwise would have been left on all weekend, saving $527.94 in energy costs. This also prevented 5.05 metric tons of CO2 equivalent from entering the atmosphere, which is equivalent to the greenhouse gas emissions from 568 gallons of gasoline being consumed. That's a great impact!

    Campus Bike Center

    We were closed last week for Spring Break. Used the quiet time to crank out a few more bikes. We’re hovering around double digits in the for-sale department. With the final batch of bikes out of the barn, I’ll be able to do an earnest inventory and have my staff sort bikes between For Sale/B-a-Bs. A little clarity in that realm will hopefully elp move bikes along a little quicker.
