In the Community Upcoming Plans: The organization has received the keys to our new home! We will soon be opening shop in the basement of the Community House in Bay Village. We will need volunteers to help move the tools and bicycles into the space and to help build the racks prior to our move. If you are interested, then please contact us. Once the work space is set up, then open work space hours will be posted to the calendar on this site. We are also working with the city to improve some infrastructure to improve bicycling in Bay Village. Plans include getting bike racks at city hall and the adjacent tennis courts, and working in collaboration with Bike Cleveland to get our city ordinance in agreement with state law. Spring- We hope to work towards offering an earn a bike program to school age children in the community. Students will be encouraged to volunteer. Once they have completed a certain amount of hours they will be eligible for a free bicycle. Also we hope to offer a few classes for any adults that would like to get their bicycles tuned up for the upcoming season. Participate in Bike Cleveland's bicycle challenge. We will create a team or teams depending on interest level and enter a competition to see what team can log the most miles during the month of May and continuing through the summer months!! Offer more sponsored community rides. We hope to collaborate with Ironwood cafe again as well as the Bay Historical Society. Summer- Offer an improved Basics of Maintenance and a Fix a Flat class. Another session of earn a bike program for the summer Offer a bicycle art class. |
