CU's NEW BIKE CO-OP needs you!

The NEW BIKE CO-OP will offer a place to work on bikes, offer & take  
bike repair classes, and provide a hub for cycling advocacy & community.

The NEW BIKE CO-OP will be located at the IMC, a Community Media and  
Arts Center which has bought the post office building in downtown  
Urbana - a short bike ride from campus and on every bus line through  
Urbana.

Help raise the roof at the:
"BIKE CO-OP RAISING"
THIS SUNDAY, September 3rd from 2-6 PM.
at the IMC, in the post office building at Broadway & Elm in Urbana.
Drop on by!  Bring your old bikes, tools to lend/give, and sign up to  
become a member.

The FIRST BIKE BASICS CLASS is:
Sunday, September 10th at 2 PM.
Sign up by mailing: thebikeproject at gmail.com.
Free for members.

We are gathering MEMBERSHIPS and need 50+ to begin.  We are also  
seeking FOUNDING FUNDERS who can help get this off the ground by  
giving $100-200.  We need TOOLS & BIKES too - folks can drop them at  
the Bike Coop Raising.  And SKILLS - if you are bike-smart, spread it  
around!

MEMBERSHIP is $50 per year or $25 per year for students/low income.   
It is less than a single tune up!  Send your check to:
The Bike Project

Urbana, IL 61801

Membership gets you:
--> access: workspace with shared tools
--> free classes: to the regular Bike Basics class, taught by local  
bike experts
--> office hours with skilled people
--> discounted materials as available.
--> teaching space: want to make money with you bike smarts while you  
help
       others?  Offer classes in the space and do a 50/50 split with  
the co-op.
--> repair and sell space: let's get more working used bikes around CU.
       Use the space to fix up old bikes and sell them with a split  
with the co-op.
