3rd Annual Summer Parkways is tomorrow night, Wednesday the 19th.
Expect to see people walking, jogging, cycling, rollerblading, Razoring, hula-hooping and more–all of it happening in the middle of streets. It’s empowering and makes us happy to see all the physical activity and people having fun.
Spokane Police Department and Summer Parkways volunteers will be helping to keep participants safe and pointed in the right direction.
Get out there, and be part of this unique event!
P2P couldn’t operate as a community bike shop without your donations. Bikes, bike parts–we love them. We accept adult and kid bikes. Kid bikes are given, free of charge, to families that need wheels for their kiddos.
We don’t love “donations” that get dumped when no one is at the shop to evaluate them. We can’t accept all bikes. We have a small shop, and we need to be selective. Low-quality bikes from the department store with un-serviceable parts are generally not accepted. Many are hauled away. This costs our volunteers time and money.
Read the FAQ before bringing P2P a bicycle donation.
Please bring bikes to the shop when we’re open. We’re now open Thursday-Sunday and some Monday afternoons. Check the calendar for more details.
Before the Memorial day organizing.
After the volunteers got busy.
Looks great inside. When it’s beautiful outside it’s also nice to head outdoors.
The P2P shop will be closed this Thursday, Saturday and Sunday for business.
BUT, we’ll be open for sorting and organizing. When the shop is organized it’s easier for everyone to use, and that’s our goal. Come by and volunteer a couple hours–no mechanical skills needed! Getting parts and tool benches sorted are high on our list of things to do.
Thursday 2-7
Saturday 12-7
Sunday 12-4
If you have a vehicle, drive it. Drivers needed to make recycling runs to Pacific Steel and Recycling or down to UGM to donate extra tires and parts.
If you have a label maker, bring it. You can label parts containers and buckets.
If you like to make cookies, bake ‘em and bring them. Our volunteers will appreciate it.
Thanks–this is your community bike shop, and we couldn’t do this without your help!
The shop is buzzing with spring cleaning donations, tuneups, overhauls, and builds and in order to start the season off RIGHT we will be having a volunteer appreciation this Thursday (5/16) at 5pm. Meet at the shop and we will go over some of the new volunteer expectations and get a temperature check regarding the upcoming few months at P2P. Then we’ll take a quick group ride down to Budge Brothers Brewery. Feel free to bring a small dish or side to share or just come for the company!
Did you make it to the Bike To Work Breakfast this morning? If not, no worries. You can ride to work on Wednesday and pick up coffee and treats and several sponsored Energizer stations. See map for all stations–19 different locations this year.
P2P hopes to see you on the corner of 25th and Cedar/High Dr.
The Scoop and Roast House Coffee are partnering with us to fuel your morning commute. Go, BTW riders!
P2P has two events Saturday, May 11th!
1. YARD SALE! We’ll be having a yard sale at the shop from 12-6pm. Stop by, snap up some excellent parts, and help us raise money for our programs. Here’s a link to the event.
2. We’ll also be at the Word to Your Mother event in Riverfront Park from 12:30-3:30pm. Stop by our booth, say hello, and grab a spoke card! Here’s that link.
Monday, May 13th, marks the kick-off to Bike To Work Spokane.
We love the energy the BTW folks put into this week of events, and their enthusiasm carries forward and propels other cyclists to ride.
Go to Spokane Bikes for a list of all the happenings!
It’s a two-thumbs-up day, at the shop, and around town. It’s 70 degrees with a light breeze and clear skies. Bloomsday weekend, so the city is buzzing with activity.
We hope the weather holds up through next Saturday, when we’re having our annual yard sale. Frames, used parts and bikes, accessories for yard sale prices. P2P prices are already affordable, but our yard sale will really have some deals.
Bring a friend if you don’t want to work on your bike on your own. Usually that works just fine.
Join 2 Wheel Transit and the Gonzaga Cycling Club for a bike safety rodeo this Saturday, May 3. Bring your kiddos and get them ready for summer riding! Click image for details.
