Customized Bikes

Here at the Bike Co-op, we enjoy diverting ourselves sometimes to make wacky custom bicycles. Here are a few of  the mutants we've turned out.

Tallbikes, Choppers, and Lowriders, oh my! There ought to be enough for a mutant bike troupe by now...anybody wanna get together for some wild freak-bike rides?

We sold Bikes!

Paw-Paw Fest plus Bike Co-op

6 volunteers were at the Paw Paw Festival this weekend, as were a number of bicycles and tricycles from the bike co-op. The truckshaw and the grocer's trike helped take out the trash and deliver goods into and within the festival grounds. The rickshaw did a little bit of joyriding, and people borrowed the tallbike, unicycle, and chopper for some fun (and falls.) The local bike polo league (the Cougar-Bats) set up an exciting bike polo tournament of three teams. I broke two mallets within an hour. Our table for the bike co-op dispelled information, and we also managed to sell a few T-shirts, comic books, and pieces of bike jewelry. On the whole it was a success and a great time for all.

2nd annual Fall Bike Sale

Here comes teh Fall Bike Sale!

We will be on the College Green next Monday with our bikes for sale on display. Come by anytime from roughly 10AM to 5PM and try out some used bikes. Prices start at around $30 and go up to around $100. If we have poor weather, the bike sale will continue in the West portico of the Templeton-Blackburn Memorial Auditorium. All bike sale proceeds go toward our endeavors to promote and facilitate more bicycling in Athens, so it's a good cause. Plus, you'll be recycling a bike that someone else didn't want! It's a good deal all around. At last year's bike sale, we sold all 11 bikes we had plus 2 more that were donated on the spot. It was a pretty big success and we hope to have similar results this year. We might have closer to 15 bikes this year, I hope, so come early for best picks!
