We can’t believe it’s been nearly a year since our new shop opened, and man are we thankful for all that we’ve been able to do this year, and all we’ve been able to help at our new location.
On that note, we will be closed on Thanksgiving weekend–Th, Fri, Sat–to spend time with our families and take a little break.
Highlights from our annual meeting
120 bike builds
25 kids bikes given away

43 volunteers
20 committed volunteers
150 tuned up at free tune up events in Spokane
1700 volunteer hours
1370 visitors to the shop.
Awesome year for P2P! Thanks to everyone who made this all a reality!
This year’s Annual public meeting will happen in early November
Where: 417 W Gordon
When: Sunday, Nov 7th
What time: 2-4 pm
What to bring: an appetizer to share
Why: to share your questions or comments and hear what’s up for P2P in the coming year.
We’d love to have you, and bring a friend too!
The perfect time to get to know your bike–FALL–and we’re offering much talked about maintenance classes:
basics/brakes, drivetrain, and wheel/hub class. Ck the calendar for all the details! You don’t want to miss these classes. When the riding is scarce, it’s time to dig in and tune your bike!
P2P has an opening for our Member-at-Large board position. We are looking for someone who has previous board or committee experience, a person who is connected to the community and is interested in building up P2P and its place in Spokane. Since our inception in 2007, Pedals2People has organized 12 different community outreach events, tuned-up over 400 bikes, taught over 50 students bike mechanics, opened Spokane’s only DIY bike shop, and shipped 200 bikes to Africa.
We’re headed toward 2011 and beyond, and we need someone to complete our board. Please send us an email if you are interested!
This Sunday, the 19th, is the last Sunday the P2P shop will be open for a while. Change of the seasons means change in shop availability.
Take advantage of our last Sunday hours: 12-4
Starting on July 25th, the P2P shop will be open from 12-4. Thanks for your patronage, and we hope the extra hours will help you complete some sweet project and keep you mobile and happy this summer!
And they are amazing! Wait till you see them–unveiled at this year’s SpokeFest, September 12th!
Thank you to our local artists for submitting some fabulous work.
Can you patch a flat, adjust brakes or gears? Or if you prefer to visit with people and help get them organized, we have a great event coming up, and we could you a few volunteers.
Saturday the 17th, afternoon and/or morning, we’re doing a free community bike tune-up. Send us an email, and we’ll figure out how you can best help!
Pedals2People is looking for submissions from local artists to adorn spoke cards for this year’s SpokeFest. SpokeFest debuted as Spokane’s own bike festival in 2008. Last year, over 1700 people registered. This September 12th, SpokeFest is anticipating many more participants, and they want to give all those who register a fun momento.
The spoke cards will include your work and your name. They will be distributed to several thousand enthusiastic cyclists, and your card might just become a highly sought-after trading card ; ,,) Here’s what we’re looking for in this year’s design:
More than one design may be chosen to represent SpokeFest, Pedals2People and bike merriment.
