[Bikecoop-announce] nice 2-page Buzz article about...The Bike Project!

[Barry Isralewitz]

Hello,

	Local fame for The Bike Project! At least for the next 6 days.
Just in time for back-to-school, the _Buzz_ weekly newspaper has a  
great 2-page article on The Bike Project.

Pick up a copy (front-page headline directs you to page 4), or check  
out the web version:

Main Buzz page, top story: "Ride On" (this week only)
http://www.readbuzz.com/

Perma-link:
Article, "Ride On: The Bike Project conserves bikes and the environment"

AroundTown/Ride-On-2931074.shtml


The article encourages new, bike-less students to consider buying a  
Bike Project bike. Has nice big photos of various co-op members hard  
at work, plus a shot of a big heap of wheels (neatly-organized tools  
make boring photos I guess). Josh apparently gave a great interview  
to the Buzz reporter (who in return went a full 2 for 3 on correctly  
spelling  'Ritchey') -- the article gets across a lot of the DIY,  
learning-workshop aspects of the co-op, as well as  money-saving and  
environmental benefits. The Buzz staff was even kind enough to  
correct our website address in the online version when I asked 'em to  
(thinking of future Google-sent readers + our Google rank).

	This issue of the _The Buzz_ will be in newspaper stands and  
restaurants all over town for the coming week (and will probably  
stick around a bit longer).  Will try and put scans of the clippings  
up on the website at some point....

				Cheers,

				Barry
