For those of you who are interested in improving your wrenching skills, we will be offering FREE lessons from the Park Tool School for the first hour of each Monday Volunteer Night at the Community Bike Shop.  Each week we will pick a different chapter (schedule below), and provide you with bikes to practice on, so don't bring your own.  We will have the textbook, Park Tool's Big Blue Book of Bicycle Repair, for sale during the classes.

If you really get into it, inquire about volunteering your new found knowledge during our Do-It-Yourself Nights (we really need confident women for the women's night), or as an Youth Instructor in our Earn-a-Bike classes.  We can teach people to be technical, but we can't teach them to be personable, so if you like people, we can turn you into a great mechanic.

If you have any questions contact our Shop Manager.

 

Krisha has been promoted!

E-mail Print PDF

Krisha Pessa did a wonderful job in 2009 as our Youth Director, and so she has been promoted to Education Director.

What does this mean?  Well...

In addition to being responsible for the existing youth programs, she is now our "day shop manager" which means she will be training volunteers on bike repair during the day, by appointment.

 

Needed: Safe for our Cash Drawer

As part of our constant effort to reduce temptation, we are looking for a large safe.  If you know of one that is being unused, please contact us.

 

 

Salt Lake City Silver Status as a Bike Friendly Community

E-mail Print PDF

For Release May 1, 2010

League of American Bicyclists Awards Salt Lake City Silver Status as a Bike Friendly Community

On April 28, Salt Lake City was awarded Silver status by the League of American Bicyclists (LAB), a leading bike advocacy organization, in their spring 2010 Bicycle Friendly Communities (BFC) awards. Sixteen new and five renewing cities were named Bicycle Friendly Communities. Salt Lake City along with Flagstaff, Arizona, were the only two communities to move from Bronze to Silver status.

Salt Lake City received Bronze status in 2007 based on its commitment to bike friendliness that began close to 25 years ago under Mayor Palmer DePaulis in partnership with the Mayor’s Bicycle Advisory Committee (MBAC). Following this designation, the City furthered its initiatives to become more bicycle friendly. The MBAC put forth the Silver City Initiative to promote new ideas for bike friendliness and to address feedback from reviewers of its 2007 application. Major components of the Initiative included extending the Complete Streets Policy, increasing police department outreach and enforcement, holding an annual bike summit, hiring a bicycle and pedestrian coordinator, and increasing expenditures on infrastructure improvements.
