We've been invited back to this year's African-American festival and are planning to host a pop-up from 12-5 PM. I'll be there from at least 12-2:30 PM to hang out / help folks work on their bikes. Please sign up below or feel free to drop by to say hello.

Shannon L. will be leading the pop-up at this year's YMCA Block Party. Often a lively event, and a nice opportunity to support our neighbors at the Y, in addition to supporting block party revelers in covering their hands in bike gunk immediately prior to consuming a sno-cone.

The Ann Arbor Summer Fest organizers encouraged CC to make use of their large Annex tent on Sunday, 6/15. We'll be hosting a maintenance & repair pop-up, and have invited several allied organizations to help turn the tent into a Bike Pavilion, including:
  • CC Repair/Maintenance Pop-Up (open repair-support and/or skillshare stations)
  • DIY Retroreflective Vinyl Decals (municipal-grade!) w/ Wolverines-on-Wheels
  • Screening (on a loop, as it were) of The Loop of Pain, Dir. Jen Proctor's 2023 short film about Ann Arbor's bandit MTB loop.
Our first time hosting an event like this - please sign up if you'd like to lend a hand or otherwise, please drop by to say hello if you're in that neck.
