A lot of good news from our brothers and sisters to the East. The Davis Bike Church has been renamed the Davis Bike Collective. They have also secured a new location near 4th and L streets in Davis, California. Let’s show our support for them by attending their grand opening tomorrow (Sat, April 24, 2009).
Read the announcement posted to their facebook page:
The Davis Bike Collective announces its grand opening Saturday, April 24th at its new location, Bike Forth, near the intersection of 4th and L in Davis, California. All are invited to come by on Saturday between the hours of 12 p.m. and 6 p.m. to fix bikes, learn how to volunteer, make donations, or just check out the new space. The Davis Bike Collective, formerly known as the Davis Bike Church located on UC Davis campus in the Sustainable Research Area, is a all-volunteer organization dedicated to teaching people to fix their own bikes, promoting reuse of bicycle parts, and growing bike culture locally and beyond.
The Davis Bike Collective promises to continue to provide a vital service to those bicycling in Davis, one of the most bike-friendly cities in the nation. The bike tool-share and expertise available at the Bike Fourth will add to the excitement of recent enhancements to bicycling in Davis. At the new location, anyone is welcome to come by to learn about bikes or fix a bike and our volunteers can teach you a range of skills–from changing a flat to rebuilding a wheel. We will be offering memberships for those frequenting Bike Fourth, available for a day, year, month or lifetime. Along with services at Bike Forth, the Davis Bike Collective participates in numerous outreach programs in collaboration with local schools, non-profits, religious organizations and community events.
At the new location we are seeking donations of bike parts and monetary contributions to help our fledgling nonprofit grow. Bike Forth is a community-sponsored endeavor, relying on local support for its success. Those interested in helping the Davis Bike Collective through donations of funds, bicycles, or their volunteer time should come by the Bike Forth location or email bikeministry@gmail.com for more information. Our regular hours will be announced at the grand opening on Saturday. While we welcome donations of bicycles in any condition, due to space limitations we prefer durable and/or quality bicycles and parts.
