[Bikecoop-announce] As usual - lots of bike stuff going on in August.

[Anthony Cherolis]

*Hello CU bike folks,*

How about this beautiful summer!?  Here's the latest scoop on The Bike
Project and related events.

*August Co-op Etiquette Tips:*  The co-op sometimes gets crowded in August,
so some basic etiquette is needed to keep things running smoothly at the
co-op.

   - If a bike is "tagged" with someone else's information.  Please respect
   that claim on the bike.   Don't remove tags or alter them.  If a tag is
   expired (> 4 weeks old by date) talk to a volunteer staff member for a
   disposition.
   - Conversely - If you tag a bike, (a) try not to have more than one
   tagged at a time (b) make sure all your information is on the tag including
   intended use, a date, and contact information (c) if you leave a tagged bike
   in the co-op for more than 4 weeks after the tag date, it will be reclaimed
   and put to use.
   - Clean up and put tools back after you use them.  If you're going
   through tires or used parts bins, put those back in order when you're done
   ransacking.  We don't have magic fairies floating around to put things away.
