Hello, patrons and volunteers alike!

The two weeks surrounding Christmas and the New Year are always dicey times for us here at the Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen.  When we're open, the shop is usually devoid of patrons, but it's pretty hard for us to justify closing down entirely for two weeks for just a couple of days of celebration.

And this year, we're swimming in bikes that need work that we just haven't had the chance to get to.  So, we're trying a new experiment this holiday season: the Build-A-Thon.

This means that SBK will be closed to the public from Tuesday, December 21 to Saturday, January 1, but in a twist, we'll be keeping our Tuesday and Thursday shifts open for new or returning volunteers to help us break down or build our way through our backlog of busted bicycles and help us start off 2011 with a good stock of working bikes to sell or donate to other worthy charities.

All volunteers are welcome and the more, the merrier; if you've been looking for a low-stress way to learn how to wield a wrench (or just want to help us get the shop in order), we can help get you elbows deep in some bottom brackets.  It's sort of like SBK's version of an office holiday party, only with better music and without that skeezy guy from accounting!

Happy wrenching, and have a wonderful holiday season!
