*Build-A-Bike Program Resumes at Campus Bike Center*

The Campus Bike Center has several bikes available for Build-A-Bikes.
Members are able to refurbish one of these bikes using the tools available
in the shop and under the guidance of experienced mechanics. This is a
great way to learn about bicycle maintenance and obtain an inexpensive
bicycle. Stop by the Campus Bike Center (51  Gregory Dr., Champaign, IL.
61820) to claim a Build-A-Bike.



*Volunteer*

The Bike Project needs your help!



We are in need of volunteers to help refurbish bicycles for sale and to
help with shop organization.



If you are interested in volunteering, please send us an email:
contact at thebikeproject.org.


*Happy Riding!*
