this weekend

update! our friends at the occupy san diego riders committee are planning a ride to come out and meet us for the building day, here is the info

IRC build-a-bike-a-thon + south east farmers market

the next build-a-bike-a-thon for the IRC is february 13th at 2754 snowdrop over there in city heights. probably between 1 and 4 pm like last time. this is a good way to get acquainted with all the parts of a bike, even if you have no experience, all the while helping local refugees get around town. you can bring your own tools, but if you it might be a good idea to mark them just in case.

also, starting in two weeks (actually, like 11 days now i guess) we're going to start operating out of the south east farmers market! so come on out to help, if you live in the area and need help drop in, and just in general spread the word. 

november bike work day recap

this last sunday's bike work day was a great success! thanks to everybody who came out to help, we put together i think 5 bikes for the irc and cleared out a little space in the garage. plus even more neighbors and housemates from the snowdrop house stopped by to say hello and hang out. not to mention there was some really good food. below is a quick video that brian put together.

hope to see everybody soon for the next workshop!
