Call for Volunteers: Public Hours, Sunday, 5/15 & Bike Month Events

[Ian Ogden]

Morning, all; pardon the delayed message this week.

Available opportunities to help folks work on bicycles this month are below - things are very much coming together, and there are open slots all around (inc. mechanical support, shutterbugging (with folks' consent) and apprentice mechanical support).

I. SUNDAY, 5/15: Public Hours

11 AM-3 PM, 416 W Huron

Though the workshop will be down a stand or two for Huron River Day, the literal and figurative doors will be open for turning some wrenches.

Also, this month's steering committee will follow (4-5:30 PM) and all are welcome. If you'd like to join, you can stick around in-person after public hours or shoot me a note offline and I can share the Zoom details.

II. SUNDAY, 5/15: Huron River Day

Gallup Park, 12-4 PM - Mobile Repair & Bike Valet Support (Event Details)

Looks like we have solid baseline volunteer support to cover Huron River Day - if anyone is free from 2-4 PM, we could use another person or two as we work on bikes with folks in reverence of our local waterway.

7-10 AM, Hanover Square Park (at NW intersection of Packard and Divison) (Event Details)

Next Friday, folks are invited to use a bicycle to get around and drop by our commuter node sometime between 7 and 10 AM for coffee and/or a baked good. We're co-hosting with RoosRoast, UM Parking & Transportation and the UM Office of Campus Sustainability.
