2. Fix Your Own Bike Survey - Please take a minute to respond

We would like to measure the community's interest in a Fix Your Own Bike
program, which we would implement if we succeed in finding a bigger, better Bike

Recycling Program space. FYOB would involve regular (i.e. weekly, bi-weekly)
sessions during which the public can rent a bike work station, complete with a
set of tools, a work bench, and a bike repair stand. Specialized tools would be
available for use by all, and mechanics would be on hand to give guidance on
repairs. Spare parts such as cables and tubes would be available for sale, as
would used parts from our inventory.

Please take a few minutes (literally, it will only take you 2 or 3 minutes) to
complete this survey so we can hopefully put together a program that works f or
everyone:

The next regular BRP session is Wednesday. BRP workdays are held Monday &
Wednesday from 6-8:30pm and Sunday from 2-4:30pm at the Chase St.
warehouses. Volunteers need not have any knowledge of bicycle maintenance;
just be willing to get their hands dirty repairing , tuning up, cleaning,
and outfitting bikes. Feel free to bring your own repair stands and tools
although it is not necessary that you have these items to participate.

BikeAthensâ Bicycle Recycling program, a cooperative venture with local
social support agencies, distributes reconditioned bikes to individuals in
the Athens community who are underserved by private and public
transportation. We rely exclusively on volunteers to recondition the
bikes.

and GDOT regarding T-SPLOST. Look to the discussion listserv for more
