The Community Bicycle Network introduces mechanic classes for beginners. The classes are taught by experienced mechanics and provide an intimate, focused, learning environment. Learning some basics about your bike saves you money in the long run when you can change your own tube or adjust your brakes.
Dates: Wednesday evenings from 7pm until 9pm, weekly, beginning August 15th
Cost: $30 (including any deposit)
In the Globe and Mail article, Bicycles made for vous, Susan Sachs illuminates the new bikesharing program in Paris (earlier reported on by Darren). She does a reasonable job recounting the various bike sharing projects in Europe and North America, including Toronto's Bikeshare program which was run by the Community Bicycle Network for 5 successful years:
CBN is looking for nominations for the board plus announcing a general meeting, July 9th. If you want to help out CBN with a vision of educating and getting recycled bikes out on the road, please consider running for the board or volunteering!
From the CBN website:
Call for Nominations to the CBN Advisory Board
Tonight's the night to come and unleash all of your awesome ideas for Toronto's Community Bicycle Network (not to mention getting to meet Large Marge, iBikeTO blogger extraordinaire). What will happen to the 150 yellow bikes that are currently collecting cobwebs in storage? What kind of programming could/should be planned for the upcoming months and years? It's up to you to decide!
CBN will also be accepting nomination for its Advisory Board.
While I still have a bit of a bad taste in my mouth over the whole Bikeshare funding debacle last year, I intend to wash it away with juice, cookies and productive conversation at the CBN Townhall. I can't wait to hear what ideas might be in store for this dynamic organization!
