Starting on July 25th, the P2P shop will be open from 12-4. Thanks for your patronage, and we hope the extra hours will help you complete some sweet project and keep you mobile and happy this summer!

And they are amazing! Wait till you see them–unveiled at this year’s SpokeFest, September 12th!

Thank you to our local artists for submitting some fabulous work.

Can you patch a flat, adjust brakes or gears? Or if you prefer to visit with people and help get them organized, we have a great event coming up, and we could you a few volunteers.

Saturday the 17th, afternoon and/or morning, we’re doing a free community bike tune-up. Send us an email, and we’ll figure out how you can best help!

Pedals2People is looking for submissions from local artists to adorn spoke cards for this year’s SpokeFest. SpokeFest debuted as Spokane’s own bike festival in 2008. Last year, over 1700 people registered. This September 12th, SpokeFest is anticipating many more participants, and they want to give all those who register a fun momento.

The spoke cards will include your work and your name. They will be distributed to several thousand enthusiastic cyclists, and your card might just become a highly sought-after trading card ; ,,) Here’s what we’re looking for in this year’s design:

1. Must have SpokeFest 2010 in the design
2. When sending a digital image, best if the quality is at least 300 dpi (dots per inch) and no smaller than 4 inches by 4 inches.
3. Original artwork can be scanned, but should be 8.5×11″ or smaller
4. Can be full-color or BW
5. Look at the SpokeFest and Pedals2People sites to get an idea about what your work is representing
6. Email your work or questions to pedals2people@gmail.com
7. Must be submitted by July 15

More than one design may be chosen to represent SpokeFest, Pedals2People and bike merriment.

the P2P shop will be closed July 15-17, but we’ll make it up to you. Stay tuned for details later.

Wednesday, the 19th, if you need some energizing on your bike commute to work, then stop by our station at 25th and Cedar for some snacks. We would love to feed you, chat you up, see how your biking is going, answer any questions you may have, and cheer you on your way! 6:30 – 8:30 am

Check out Jackie’s blog post on the class. Great pictures and story!

We have 4 openings in our wheelbuilding class for this May 24, 26, 27. This is a great class where you get to work with two experienced instructors to build your own handcrafted set of wheels. It is back by special request. Register online!

Tuesdays class was full, fast-paced and fun. Three women are training for triathalons this year. All were looking to gain more confidence and knowledge about servicing their own bikes. John, Beth and I loved meeting all these brave women and helping them to tackle unknown territory. We are loving these ladies classes! I’ll post pics next week.
