Tomorrow is MLK Jr. Day. Since a lot of folks have the day off we decided it would be a great time to open up the shop to volunteers for cleaning up our overflowing scrap yard (formerly known as Broke Bike Mountain). The shop will be open for much of the day starting at 10am. We are still having our volunteer appreciation in the evening and an orientation at night but if you want to come get greasy before that come on in. Here are a few things that we hope to accomplish:
- Create wheel sizing templates (to help find that specific size you need)
- Create some signage and education materials for the shop
- Strip broken bikes for useful parts
- Build up mostly-complete bikes for selling/donating
- Add drawer liners for the Parts Card Catalog
- Strip wheels for useful hubs and axles
- Develop ingenious part and bike storage systems
- Win at life
So, get off your bum and be productive on MLK Jr. Day.
See you at 10am!

December couldn’t rain on our Second Saturday bash! We here at SBK would like to thank Carly DuHain, Devin Ferrin, Rachel Lomax, The Actionists, Be Brave Bold Robot, and WELL for playing with electricity a scant few feet from the the pouring rain. Thanks also to Matt Marsango for setting up some of his outstanding work. And finally, a big thanks to John at Brew It Up! for bringing and slinging some of Sacramento’s finest beer.
We also have to thank everyone who braved the weather and came out to support the shop — volunteer and visitor alike. We’re here for everyone in Sacramento, and it certainly seemed like everyone in Sacramento showed up!
See you all next month!

We’ve lined up an phenomenal and busy lineup for this month’s Second Saturday party. The Actionists will head the set, with WELL, Be Brave Bold Robot, Devin Farren, Carly Duhain, and Rachel Lomax each wearing holes in our concrete stage. If that’s not enough for you, we’ll be displaying some of Matt Marsango’s arresting artwork. Oh, and the crew from Brew It Up! will be here slinging some of Sacramento’s favorite suds!
The doors open at 6:00 PM, the bands will take the stage at 7:00 PM. Tell me this won’t be awesome.

Sometimes a cause comes along that’s more important than just keeping your local bicycle maintenance collective occupied. On Thursday, December 10, SBK will be closing its regular shop hours in order to host an information meeting about AIDS/LifeCycle 9, a 545 mile, 7 day bicycle ride sponsored by an benefiting the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and L.A. Gay and Lesbian Center.
AIDS/LifeCycle organizers will be at the Kitchen showing an informational video about the ride and answering any and all questions you might have about the ride, the beneficiaries, the fundraising, or anything else you might want to know. They’ll also be offering a discounted registration fee if you sign up at this event.
RSVPs are required, and you can visit http://www.tofighthiv.org/site/Calendar/219538390?view=Detail&id=133261 to RSVP or learn more.
