Shifts are up for the first 2 OSU home games. 

lifeontwowheels posted on the forum topic Pedal Instead 2010 in the group Pedal Instead:   3 weeks, 5 days ago · View

Shifts are posted on UAEA’s site for Bike the C-Bus.

I also have 2 workdays posted for upcoming Saturdays. We’ll be working on putting together the new fencing system which will basically involve cutting PVC pipe and mixing concrete. Sign up on UAEA and send me an email (I have it listed on the shift sign up) [...]

I only ask because I already know the answer. While “Advocate” has made some positive contributions on this message board, there have been several clear instances where their posts have served as nothing more than an attempt to stir the pot and cause drama where none is needed. Everyone here moved on from Arts Fest over [...]

As to Arts Fest, my understanding was that CB was approached months in advance. It was an opportunity to recognize that the service already was in place and direct the GCAC people to the right individuals. That’s where I think many of us got upset. 

I think it’s pretty telling that when the city was forced to [...]

Just for the sake of disclosure, are you in any way, shape or form affiliated with Consider Biking Advocate? 

 

RE: Ribs Fest. Yes we would like to do the festival in future years. We are all volunteer run at the moment. I’m personally working 4 jobs in addition to spending 10-14 hours a day in the field [...]

I never liked their rack. I always crossed the street and used the nice one by COTA’s bus stop. 

I can’t remember if the new regulations apply to existing businesses or new builds.

Shifts are up for Garret Wonders Race, August 1. 

lifeontwowheels posted on the forum topic Pedal Instead 2010 in the group Pedal Instead:   1 month, 2 weeks ago · View

After a few well deserved weeks of rest, Pedal Instead is back!

Our immediate need for volunteers is August 1. Yay Bikes! has partnered with Kurt Lehmkuhl, owner of Westerville Bike Shop and organizer of the Garret Wonders Race, to provide Pedal Instead service. We’ll be set up in Westerville on Saturday and Downtown on Sunday. Shifts [...]

Hi, Brett. Welcome to YB! Are you primarily looking at used? Handy Bikes and Once Ridden both carry used inventory and may be worth a shot. If you are looking at going new, I think Casey at B1 may be carrying some tri bikes now. Great shop and great staff. I’d have to go through [...]

If anything I’ll check and see what the deadline for shirts is and we’ll see about getting volunteer shifts filled by that date. 

 

I’ve got some notes from the weekend and I’ll be getting some thoughts from the supervisors as well to make this better. 

Anyone got ideas for what can top the art installation for next year? [...]

Sorry about that Mike. I think it’s more a Comfest thing and something we’ll pass on. Steave may know a bit better but I seem to recall that even though the log in asks for your shirt size, we have to pretty much pre-order regardless of what the actual count is. I think the deal with [...]

Thanks Jess. It was an awesome weekend. The larger size of the corral made things much smoother. I think I mentioned it earlier, none of my shifts had anyone turned away due to a lack of space.

We have metal for another 6 racks, which will give us approximately 50-60 new non-kickstand spaces next year for overflow. [...]

So bike corral is going to be awesome this year:

 

The visualization project looks great…can’t wait to see it grow

Third Hand will be set up with the corral to do bike checks.

We have 3 generator stands, 2 powering batteries/lights and 1 on the energy board. And we have a solar array to provide back up. 

We’ve also expanded [...]

Friday – 1:30 AM

Saturday – 1 AM

Sunday – Midnight

 

 

I will make a note for next year that it would probably be good to have something set up for volunteers.

Mad props to Kurt, owner of Westerville Bike Shop, and the folks at Ohio Energy Project who got this off the ground for us.

We’ll be setting up the corral on Thursday from 5-8 PM in the NW corner of Goodale Park. Stop by and lend a hand if you have time. 

 

We still have a need for volunteers Saturday after 8:30 PM and Sunday after 4.

If you’ve read some of Columbusite’s other postings, you’ll recall he’s had issues with the 311 system in the past. 

 

I don’t think this forum is there yet but just look at where Columbus Underground is in terms of city officials utilizing that as a resource to better understand part of their constituency. This has the potential [...]

It’s a “we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it” kind of thing. We’re just excited and trying to figure the logistics of our new toy out. The conversations and reactions we were getting as we pedaled had us really pumped up. 

 

Maybe 5 is the minimum and we put a number based on the minutes [...]

Isn’t this awesome?!? We have Bike Powered  lighting now thanks to a Comfest grant. These are generator lights on massive steroids. 

 

And if it wasn’t awesome enough that you can pop your bike on and help us power up, we’re going to let you get priority bike return next weekend during Comfest. Bring your bike to the generator stand, [...]
