If you’re a P2P volunteer, thanks for giving your time. Everyone has so much going on, and we love being on your list of things to do. If you volunteer with us, come down to the shop for some free wrenching time: Monday, May 3, 6-8pm

The P2P calendar is pretty full for May. Known as Bike-to-Work month, May will be when we offer another round of ladies’ classes and wheelbuilding classes, an energizer station, and a free volunteer night for our committed volunteers. Check out our event calendar for more details.

Glen Copus and John Speare will be teaching the 3-part Wheelbuilding class again in May. We had a lot of feedback requesting this class, so here it is. Sign up online! There are 4 openings left. If you’re curious about bicycle wheels, truing, and seeing a complete set of wheels through from start to finish, this is your class.

May 24, 26, 27th from 6:30-8:30 at the P2P shop.

This Wednesday, we’re offering a new class: Commuter Basics, taught by our shop mechanics Ryan and John Henry. If you are new to bike commuting, this class was made with you in mind. Ryan and John will cover roadside repair and basic maintenance, riding safely in traffic, and they’ll offer suggestions for how to make your commuting more enjoyable (i.e. how to prepare for the elements and how to carry stuff on your bike).

Class is from 6-9 this Wednesday, and the cost is FREE. Bring your bike, or better yet, ride it to the shop for this great class offering!

The Steam Plant Grill will be airing the Paris-Roubaix on several TVs and up on the big screen today for all cycling fans to watch. Come down at 3, get excited about the upcoming spring series, and get a tasty bite to eat and a locally brewed beer. No other place is town is airing this race!

Stop by the shop, 6-8pm, for our open house and silent auction–great time to see the new space and bid on some awesome stuff from local people like Tiffany Patterson and Mt Gear

And at the Empyrean and 8, there will be a music by Hockey and Jason Bazan–good tunes and free schwag courtesy of New Belgium Brewery.

Tiffany Patterson’s artwork, an Overland pack stuffed with rentals and books from Mt Gear, Yakima car-top bike rack, New Belgium bike, BOB trailer, and 1969 classic ladies cruiser are all in our front window for you to peruse. Place a bid on these items during normal business hours (10-5) at our shop at 1802 E Sprague. Our SNAP neighbors will help you out if we’re not there.

This is cool stuff, and you might pick up some great items for a steal!

Great article by Erika Prins in this month’s Out There Monthly. Erika spent time talking to volunteers and customers, came and used the shop, and crafted a piece of news that’s entertaining and informative. Nice!

Check out this amazing free publication and read the article about P2P. Thanks Erika, Jeff and Jon for featuring us

Kids in Spokane schools will be on spring break till April 4th, and so will we. The shop will still be open, but our blog will be stagnant for a little while. Check back in a week for more content.

Enjoy the weather

Ride a lot

Watch out for kids on bikes

DTE news visited the P2P shop earlier this year and took some great pictures and also wrote an article detailing who we are and what we’re doing. Check them out.

Bart and Paul are constantly in motion looking for cool sustainable projects and folks in Spokane, and we’re happy to be a group they were interested in talking to :,,)

Thanks guys!
