Come to Dust Off Days for a free bike tune-up

Tuesday, April 9th, 2013 by

Do you have a friend, co-worker or family member whose bike has sat neglected in the shed all winter? There’s no sense in leaving that bike unloved in a corner – bikes should be ridden! With the weather beginning to warm and (fingers crossed!) the wet season on its way out, what better time than now to drag that bike out of the shadows, dust off the cobwebs and lube the squeak out of that rusty chain? Join us at the Swedish Cultural Center on Saturday, April 27, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for a spring cleaning, bike tune-up event.

 

The first in a series of Dust Off Days, and just in time for Bike Month, the event will go as follows:

- Look for the bright gold Cascade tents in the Swedish Cultural Center parking lot, 1920 Dexter Avenue North.

- Place your bicycle in the trusty hands of the volunteer mechanics from Elliott Bay Bicycles, Montlake Bicycle Shop and WRENCH Bicycle Workshop.

- Mechanics will provide up to 20 minutes of free labor per bike, plus a diagnosis of those problems which cannot be addressed in the allotted time.

- Replacement parts will be available and helmets will be on sale for just $15 so bring cash.

- Your bike will be tuned and ready to go for Bike Month!

 

Special thanks to the Swedish Cultural Center, Elliott Bay Bicycles and WRENCH Bicycle Workshop for helping us launch the first Dust Off Days!

Promote the commute!

Friday, February 1st, 2013 by

Cascade Bicycle Club is an enthusiastic promoter of bike commuting. We produce programs such as the Commute Challenge in May (last year’s had over 12,000 participants!). The Cascade Bicycle Ambassador team is another way that the Club supports commuting by bike; these friendly and knowledgeable bicycle enthusiasts attend events all over Seattle to answer questions about starting to ride, route-finding, gear, and more. Cascade promotes bicycling at business-sponsored transportation fairs and health fairs: over 52 in 2012! Ambassadors also run frequent “Energizer Stations”, designed to support people on bikes by providing maps, lubing chains, pumping up tires, and more.

The Ambassadors bring our work back to the community, and in turn inform the Club about how to improve what we do.

Are you passionate about commuting by bike? Want to inform others about a healthy, economical, and environmentally friendly way to get to and from work? Share your tricks of the trade with new commuters, and let car commuters know what they’re missing! Commuting, in addition to a number of other topics, is part of the expansive knowledge of the Cascade Bicycle Ambassadors. And now you have an opportunity to become one!
