Past Event Notifications for the Treasure City Shop

2007-03-24 (Sat) 12pm-4pm - TREASURE CITY SATELLITE SHOP GRAND OPENING - Our new Treasure City Satellite Shop is finally open!  We are open 3 days a week, on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday all this month.  Our shop has 3 works stands and, as always, wonderful volunteers to help you with bike maintenance and repair.

We will have a Grand Opening at the shop on Saturday the 24th between Noon and 4pm.  For the first two hours of the event we will be matching around 35 neighborhood youths with bikes donated and overhauled as part of our ACA and REI supported Bikes to Schools Program. Each bike will come with safety gear, a helmet and a light set.  The bikes will be adjusted to fit the kids who receive them.

For neighborhood kids who bring their own bikes to the shop , we will be giving away any extra helmets and lights on a first-come first-serve basis.  We will also perform a safety check on their bicycles and make any adjustments necessary.  Volunteers will be on hand to teach basic bike safety tips to the kids.

For the remainder of event, from 2pm - 4pm, the shop will be open for people to work on their bikes and tour the new shop.  The shop is equipped for minor repairs like replacing brake cables, fixing flats and greasing bearings.  Complete overhauls and multi-day projects are more easily accommodated at our Main Shop on 51st Street.

We would again like to thank everyone who helped out with the bike powered move (watch video ) and the setup of the new shop.  We couldn't have done it without you.  Please come to the Grand Opening or stop by during open hours and see the new shop!

2007-01-27 12:00pm - HUMAN POWERED SATTELITE SHOP MOVE - ALL INVITED - On Saturday January 27 we will be moving our Wheatsville Satellite shop to its new Treasure City location (view map). To get us ready for the imposing task of moving our 4,500 sq ft main shop later this year, we have decided to move the 300 sq ft satellite shop entirely by human power. We will be moving every bike, bike part, tool, and work stand in the shop. Some of you might wonder why we would torture ourselves with a feat like this when several of us own trucks that would make the task much easier. The answer is that 1) we love bikes: riding bikes, utilizing bikes, promoting bikes... and 2) we plan on making a great time of it. So meet us at Wheatsville on at 12:00 (Noon) with your bicycle, tricycle, bike trailer, panniers, backpacks, bungie cords, or anything else you think might help out.
