Ladies Night at the P2P Shop

Hey, ladies! This Friday (October 26th), from 4-6, is our very first ladies’ open shop time! We’ll have a female volunteer/member there and our Lead Mechanic, Jayce, will be around to lend his expertise. Regular shop time fees apply and we have lots of used parts available to get your bike winter-ready as economically as possible.

Questions? Drop us a line at p2p@pedals2people.org

Road Finds

So, you’re riding along.  And lo and behold you find _________________ (insert oh-so-cool awesome item) on the road.

Such things we’ll call a Road Find. I find it astonishing that Wikipedia  doesn’t have a definition for that.

What have you found?

A search on Cycling Spokane found such items a tires, wrenches, watering systems and socks.

If you’ve found some pretty cool or mentionable stuff throw an e-mail over to Hank at gigowiz@gmail.com.

Hank is a contributing writer for Out There Monthly  and is looking for some information for an upcoming story.

That is all

Annual Meeting and Volunteer Appreciation Jubilee

You may have grown up in a shotgun shanty in the south or a one-room shack in the wind swept plains with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Jack, 3 chickens, a goat and a wombat. They went hungry while putting you through college or bailing you out of jail.

Now is the chance to make them proud.  Attend the Annual Meeting and Volunteer Appreciation Jubilee.

You’ve been volunteering with us for a while now.  Or maybe you just jumped onto this bicycle driven wagon.  No matter.  We appreciate your help.  We really, really do.

Come on over to Jacque’s house (um, it’s pronounced Jack) on Saturday July 21st at 4pm.  There will be a short meeting then the celebrations will begin.

Bring some food to share and laughter to keep to yourself (though we’d prefer you share that too).

Send an e-mail to jacque . hendrix @ gmail.com with the number of people that’ll be attending.

Till later,

Jacque – Out

 

Yard Sale

Chances are, if you’re reading this blog you may not need a bicycle.

But maybe you know someone that needs one.

Maybe you’re tired of your silly little multi-thousand dollared bicycle, don’t want to donate it to us (dirty rat!) but really want to try out the STP on a more “challenging” model.

Well have we got a deal for you!

Saturday! Saturday! Saturday!

10am till 7pm is the 25th annual (really it’s our first, but 25 is a way cooler number) Pedals2People yard sale.

Bikes! $10 and up.  Jerseys $5.  Locking cables.  Racks for your car.

If it has to do with a bicycle or is a bicycle we’ll have it and we’ll sell it.

This ain’t your Grandma’s estate sale baby!  No used toasters or old furniture here.  Just bicycles  and related stuff.

This is a fund raiser that directly benefits Pedals2People.

Saturday, June 16th.  10am to 7pm at the shop.  16th and Helena.

Till later,

Jacque – Out
