Green Bike Co-Op: Free Bike Repair Class, Women Only!

December 15th, 2011 | Posted by Ocean18 in Bikes - Transportation | Education - Classes - (0 Comments)

The Seashore Family Literacy Center is a Waldport based non-profit that provides educational programming, food, clothing and more. Check out their web site to get an idea of how awesome it is to see what a community can do when it works together at this level, sharing, and uplifting others in need. With a small staff, volunteers, community partnerships and donations the Center is addressing the human fundamentals that everyone should have the opportunity to experience.

One of the umbrella programs offered is Green Bikes. According to Seashore it is a “way to promote good health and recreation, the Green Bike program provides bicycles for anyone to ride, any time, to any destination — no questions asked. The premise is simple: Find a bike and use it for fun and transportation. When done, leave the bike in an accessible spot for the next rider.”

Lincoln County is witnessing more people taking advantage of riding in recent years.  Many are riding to save money because of higher fuel costs. Some are trying to lessen their carbon footprint and others ride for recreation and wellness. Whatever the case, you might say the bike is making a comeback, and the end result is human vitality.

Green Bikes is making a statement about how a small town envisions the use of the bicycle. Over 100 bikes have been placed in the community and residents are putting them to good use. Travelling to Waldport? Keep your eyes peeled for a green bike. Then take one for a spin.

Once again, “Bike Repair for the Independent Woman” is being offered at the Green Bike Co-op in Waldport.

When: Tuesday evenings beginning Feb 7 thru March 13 (6 pm-8 pm)

Who: Classes taught by Rick Hill and Assisted by Tyler Balfour

What: Basic bike repair subjects presented in easy non threatening manor. Learn how your bike works and gain an understanding of what to do when it breaks down. Bring your own bike.

Subjects: Parts of the Bike, fixing flat tires, brakes, shifters, cassettes, wheels and spokes, derailleurs, bottom brackets, head sets, bearings and threads, and more.

How: Contact Rick Hill by email at rhill@casco.net. When at least four women sign up, the class will proceed. Maximum of six students. Women only.

Cost: There is no cost for the class, but a donation to the Seashore Family Literacy Program ( Green Bike’s umbrella agency) would be appreciated.
