We thought you would never ask!  We'd love for you to volunteer as a 'Helpful Wrench' at one of our clinics, or lend a hand at our classes and events.  Alternatively, if you want the Bikery to run a class at your organization or at your function we'd be happy to hear from you.

To volunteer you should attend one of our volunteer orientations.  To find out about our next orientation date contact info@thebikery.org

Committees
If you want to get more involved with the nitty-gritty, we're developing a participatory governance structure, doesn't that sound fun?

Currently, this is how it works:  The Bikery's collection of committees and work teams focus on critical areas of the project such as programming, space hunt and development, and finances.

These committees reconvene monthly at member meetings, while point persons for each committee meet bi-monthly.  You are invited to contribute your skills or hone new skills with any of these committees.

Monthly Member Meetings - OPEN TO EVERYONE!
First Wednesday of the month @ 7:00pm – The Bikery - 1265 S. Main St 104 (between Main and Jackson on 14th)
All crucial Bikery business happens at the member meetings, and it's the best place for new folks to get oriented and get involved!

Programming/ Communications Committee
1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month @ 6:00- 7:30pm – The Bikery - 1265 S. Main St 104 (between Main and Jackson on 14th)
Combined meeting that focuses on Bikery programming for the first half of the meeting and the rest is dedicated to Communications.

Programming Committee:
The Programming Committee members put on classes, events, workshops and all the fun educational activities the Bikery offers.

Communications Committee:
If you're into art, graphic design, creating posters and flyers, and creative writing, this committee is for you!  We create the materials (like this very brochure) to help people stay in touch with the Bikery.

Steering Committee
Mondays, except for first Monday @ 7:00pm – The Bikery - 1265 S. Main St 104 (between Main and Jackson on 14th)

Our Mission Statement:
Through collaborative, hands-on education on bikes and biking, the Bikery is cultivating the personal, social and environmental benefits of bicycling.

Our Values:
*The Bikery wishes to demystify the bicycle by familiarizing people with their bikes, and by encouraging personal and vocational exploration. At the Bikery, any style of cyclist can build self-confidence and increase their skills in a non-intimidating atmosphere.

*The Bikery encourages interaction between diverse people in an accessible, safe and welcoming space. In addition to its function as a workspace, the Bikery is a place to relax and socialize.

*Money, or lack thereof, should never be an issue that discourages using the Bikery space and resources.

*Safety and the skills to attain it - including knowing rules of the road and common-sense rules of thumb, wearing helmets and using lights - will always be emphasized.

*The Bikery aggressively promotes the idea that there is more to bicycling than transportation. Bicycles are fun, artistic, recreational, functional, smart, conservation-minded, and beautiful.

*The Bikery helps people realize their own mental and physical health capabilities achieved through cycling.

*Community outreach is our responsibility.

*We strive to build partnerships with other like minded organizations.

*We recognize that marginalization exists in bicycle culture. The Bikery is dedicated to non-oppression by continually improving our own education and providing resources for others to do the same.

*All people involved in the Bikery will adhere to our values with understanding and sincerity, and wholeheartedly appreciate the diverse population the Bikery serves.
