On Sunday, the Spokeland Bike Co-op set up shop down at Mosswood Park for a “Love Your Bike” fundraiser. They called all their friends with tools and skills to diagnose and fix all passers-by’s bikes for a small donation, and were happy to teach anyone basic bike mechanics. Besides working on bikes, there was also plenty of time to drink refreshments and hang in the sun.
Spokeland Bike Co-Op is a non-profit just getting started and part of yesterday’s event was about raising funds to sign a lease on a permanent workspace. Once up and running, they plan to have a bike/work exchange, build bikes for cheap and teach bike maintenance and safety. The workspace will also have a café and music venue.
