Starting a Ride Group!
Look here on our site and check out a new ride group we are trying out on mapmyride.com…
Hopefully we can get out there more often with more people interested in moving smoothly on two wheels, happily listening to the birds sing and feeling the wind through their hair, without the annoying physical and emotional baggage of an engine, noise, and environmental waste.
Ride on!!
Our Aug 5 Advanced Bicycle Maintenance class has been moved to Aug 19, due to a power outage as a result of the recent storm. Spaces are available! Check the courses tab and sign up!
Bike!Bike! is an international annual conference organized by and for not-for-profit bike projects. It takes place in a different city each year. This year it will be hosted by Bike Pirates in Toronto from 12-15 August.
This year three VéloCity volunteers will trek to Bike!Bike! in Toronto, and to support their travel expenses, we welcome you to join us on Wednesday, August 11 from 6pm to 9pm during Open Shop Hours and Pot Luck Night to donate some cash to this noble cause, enjoy food and drink, and bid bon voyage to our trio of travelers…
Continuing the success of previous feasts, we will again have a Pot Luck this Wed night, and every Wed night going forward. Stop by between 6pm and 9pm, bring a food or drink item to share, and enjoy!
Pot Luck Wed Night!
Eat like a champion at the VéloCity Pot Luck this Wednesday night during open hours, 6pm to 9pm. Bring some food or drink to share with all Véloteers!
“Close Enough” Full Moon Ride
Full moon ride this Saturday, depart 10:30pm from the warehouse, 20-ish miles. “Close enough” because the moon is full on Sunday, but hey, close enough… Bring helmet & brighty lights…
VéloCity Sign Is Hoisted
Today the VéloCity sign was installed at the warehouse, and it is already drawing a lot of attention along Union St… A big thanks to Danny for his incredible artistry with the bicycle and sign, and to Twig for the awesome design!
