Merry Christmas

Well, unlike Ryan in the post below we aren’t basking in the southern hemisphere sun.

But in his honor we’re going to close the shop today (Saturday, December 24th) turn up our home heating systems to 80 degrees, fill the bathtub with melted snow from the glacier in the front yard, toss the kid’s  fish or maybe some fish sticks in and catch our Christmas Eve dinner.

We hope everyone has a great holiday and that there’s at least one bit of outdoor related gear under your tree.

Till later,

Jacque – Out

Donation

This time of year a lot of people and organizations think hard about where or who to give  to.

The altruistic thoughts and actions of the people out there are truly warming.  It’s difficult.  Times are tough.  Businesses as well as people are working harder and longer every day just to make ends meet.

That’s why we at P2P are consistently surprised to find dollars and silver in the donation jar, time provided in the shop and the larger donations provided at the register.

It’s the latter I’d to address here.

One day as we were working on paperwork from the Shop we noticed a $200 donation from Brad B. from Seven2 Interactive.  Whoa!  Then, the next day there was ANOTHER $200 from Bradley.  Holy Smokes!

We had to do a little bit of searching but finally found him.   Let’s say here that Seven2 seems like a pretty dang good company.  How many of us can say we work for or even know of a company that gives every one of it’s employees $400 give to the charity of their choice?

It's OUR favorite time of year too!

Then, after what very well may be the coolest company in the history of Spokane is done providing their o-so-dang awesome employees $400 to give to charities they get to to tell everyone about it.   Here’s what Bradley had to say and Pedals2People is saying here….

Thank you Bradley and thank you Seven2 Interactive!

 

 

 

Happy Holidays!

Charlie Brown (and Sally) would be proud

This tree was thinned from the woods near my home. The 2nd and 3rd growth came in, and the thick stands of young trees compete for water, nutrients, and light. I thin around the largest and strongest trees and that allows them to grow straight and tall. This little cutting makes a cheerful addition to the showroom, especially after Drew decorated it with little chrome and steel bike springs! Happy Holidays everyone!

Saturday, December 3rd Grand Opening!

Pedals2People is having its Grand Opening of the new shop at 1527 East 16th Avenue. The celebration at the shop starts at 2:00 pm and will continue at least until the shop closes at 6:00 pm. Drop in for food, drink, fun, and to check out our larger, more spacious abode.

New Board President- Jacque Hendrix!

P2P is happy to announce that we have a new board president! Jacque is a long-time supporter and volunteer of Pedals, going back to our early garage days in 2007. He’s an EMT and lover of biking and the outdoors.

As the new prez, Jacque is excited to help people get bikes and to learn to  ride and maintain them. Look for him riding around town this winter!
