Closed Tomorrow

I know no one reads this but I'll continue posting for propriety's sake.  I won't be able to be in the shop tomorrow due to school and finals, so unless anyone else volunteers to run shop tomorrow, the Bike Cave will be CLOSED. 

Barring any unforeseen circumstances though, we will be open the 26th, so come spend some Christmas money on a new bike, or get that crappy wal-mart bike your grandma gave you tuned up, or just drink beers and talk about how 'zen' your new tarck bike is.

slow week

It was just me last Saturday, out in the cold garage, all alone... I'll probably fire up the propane heater this week and try to get some more lighting installed so we can keep the garage door closed comfortably. 

Starting to put together some more concrete operating procedures, i.e. money handling, a general pricing guide, membership, etc.  All things that should help the shop running smoother and more "professionally" (as professional as a non-profit diy bike shop run from a garage/basement can be!) 

We've also been brainstorming some fundraiser events.  Got any ideas?  Let us know!  I want to do a Winter Bicycle Olympics at the ice rink- racing and polo?  Charli doesn't think they'll let us do it... We'll see about that.

Start studding those tires and layering up, winter is officially here.
