Lost of things happening at Recycle cycles recently now this its summer. There are some new volunteers at the shop who are really helpful and are also learning a lot about bikes. Some volunteers went to a Smart Commute day breakfast and promoted R.C. as well as networked with other Hamilton alternative transportation groups.

Thanks to Al we will shortly have stickers to put on all the bikes that are sold here at R.C. This will also help to promote the shop and get people to come by with there bikes.

There are some events coming up I might as well plug.

Fist is an alleycat race. Its a bike messanger style race where fake packages are picked up and droped off at different check points. This is happening on Aug. 22 at 2pm. Meet in the parking lot at Bayfront park. Race fee is $20 but all money is going to activist legal fees. Plus there are going to be prizes.

Second is BikeBike. BikeBike brings together bike projects like recycle cycles and gets them all to meet. There are workshops on all different subjects pertaining to bike culture and bike projects. Like how to start your own co-op. BikeBike is happening in toronto from Aug. 12-15th.
