Sadly we are losing Matthew to the wonders of Scotland and need a new Bike Shop Assistant Coordinator. You or any interested and qualified parties you may know can apply here.
The first annual Tour de Hood - Houston bike ride is coming up on May 24th. The 26 mile adventure winds through all six wards inside the loop and we hope everyone will sign up to ride! It will be super fun and proceeds benefit our friends at Tour de Hood as well as Workshop Houston! To sign up (its only $20!) or get more info visit www.tourdehood.org.
We are looking for volunteers to help with the ride and to sign up friends too — if you are interested call Workshop Houston and ask for Katy.
Thank you to everyone who has been donating bikes to the Bike Shop! We appreciate your generosity and support, but we have no more room for bikes at the moment. If you have a bike to donate, please hang on to it if you can and hopefully we will have more room soon - check the website for updates! Also, if anyone has any storage or warehouse space to donate, we would be very grateful!
