BikeAthens Holiday Social!
Come on out this Thursday, December 21, 5:30pm to the Bike Recycling
Program shop located in the Chase St. warehouse district.  Weâll have some
beer and pizza to celebrate a great year.  We welcome anyone to come on
out, whether you are interested in being a volunteer, have volunteered in
the past, or just want to learn more about BikeAthens.  And if youâre just
there to talk a bit and help with the pizza and beer consumption, well
thatâs OK too.

BRP needs Volunteers and Kidsâ Bikes

BRP relies exclusively on volunteers at our warehouse shop located in the
Chase St. warehouse district. Volunteers need not have any knowledge of
bicycle maintenance; just be willing to get their hands dirty repairing,
tuning up, cleaning, and outfitting bikes.  We will finish the last bike
of our Holiday Bikes 4 Kids drive Wednesday, Dec 21.  BRP is donating
these kidsâ bikes to schools and social service agencies that distribute
them to kids in need, just before the Holidays. We're also looking for
monetary donations to help buy new helmets to distribute with each bike.
We pay $5 each for helmets so every donation helps. The shop is currently
operating under the following time schedule:
o Sundays: 2 â 4:30PM
o Mondays & Wednesdays: 6 â 8:30PM
(closed for Holidays Dec 25 - Jan 1)
