youre going to be there

wanted: greeter for garage

do you have extra time on sundays? do you want to pick up valuable skills, be an asset to the community, and help people improve themselves? you might be who we are looking for.

bikes del pueblo, san diego's finest and most attractive bicycle cooperative (nothing against bike stand), is looking for somebody to come in from noon to 3pm for garage open hours. responsibilities include saying hi, helping people sign in, and hanging out. no mechanical skills necessary but they're a plus (so is being bilingual)

no need to send a resume, just show up

sundays are pickin up!

with our bones nearly all intact

well its been a great few weeks for bikes del pueblo. we had our first but definitely not our last bike games day. if you missed it here is a preview of how intense things got. and its been a generally awesome spring. the weather is nice, we got some much needed rain, a perfect time now for riding.

coming up next sunday, and dont miss it or youll feel really silly, is the next veloswap. of course we'll be out there handing out fliers and taking your old unsold stuff.

our next meeting is this wednesday, 7pm @ the snowdrop house (2754 snowdrop 92105) in city heights so if you've been volunteering or want to jump in please stop by. we always need volunteers regardless of mechanical expertise but especially anybody good at outreach, art, or just managing info

keep riding!

bike games and name drops

big news amigos and amigas and amigxs,

bikes games day is coming up this april 7th @ the world famous hollywood park in city heights. you're going to want to make it out early because a daytime alley cat starts at noon. after that we're going to have drinks, a grill, kids bike races, bike polo, skid contests and foot down as well as huffy toss. not to be missed. hit this up for a chance to win prizes and prestige, bring something for the bar b q. the flier is below but here is the facebook event to share with your friends and family. don't be afraid to tell your co-workers either

this event is especially important for us because we may be just a month away from moving into a legitimate store front space. we've gotten a lot of love and support from multiple bike communities over the last few years, and this could give us some real stability. we hope to see everybody out there!

in the international politics scene bikes del pueblo has become a talking point. in the most recent addition from speak city heights we were mentioned as part of san diego's bike "homebase" as well as our dear friend sam ollinger who runs bikesd.org.

below is screen shot proof from their news story as well as an older picture from the email. so far we haven't been asked for endorsements or spots in campaign ads, but it has to be just a matter of time. man, won't they be bummed out to hear our answer.

keep riding!

bbqs are always a success

a big thanks to everybody who came out yesterday! we had a great time opening up the garage yesterday and accommodating eaters of tofu and carne asada at the grill. big ups to nexus and the occupy riders for bringing a crowd (as well as "the ruckus", as they say) and making our event the end point of one of their raids. also, cant forget clancy from the bike stand at sdsu, who just received a grant to expand their project. thanks to slowcraft maldoror for checking out the space and a certain secret individual from bic control.

as always, keep an eye out for our ride this friday and some future collaborations. here are some pictures:
