Davis Bike Collective

We need volunteers for cLips of Faith!

Last Updated on Wednesday, 06 July 2011 21:37 Written by Admin Sunday, 19 June 2011 18:45

The Davis Bike Collective and Davis Bicycles! are working with New Belgium Brewery again this year to bring Clips of Faith to Davis on July 22nd from 7:30-10:00 at Central Park! Clips of Faith is a beer tasting and film screening that is brought to cities across the United States. New Belgium brings out their Lips of Faith beer collection along with everyone's classic favorites such as Fat Tire and 1554 and shows a collection of films that have been submitted to their film contest.

New Belgium works directly with local bicycle related organizations and all the proceeds of the event are donated to help efforts related to bicycling advocacy and community building in the host town. Last year we raised over $4000 for bicycling efforts in Davis and had more attendees than any other city in on the tour.

So… We want to do it again and we need your help. We will need to mobilize about 70 volunteers for this year’s event to do things like serve beer, check ids and put bracelets on people, sell tokens, man booths, help with set up and help with clean-up.

Please consider volunteering at this year’s event.

• You can go here to sign up to volunteer.
• Go here for more information on the event.
• Download a Volunteer Information Packet that describes the work of most of the volunteer positions here.

We will need lots of beer servers and need as many TIPS-certified volunteers as we can get.  TIPS training certifies you to serve beer and can be done online.  Certification costs will be reimbursed by New Belgium.

Please sign up today.

We also need a few folks to organize groups of volunteers for things like the beer tent and ID check. Please contact Robb Davis of Davis Bicycles!

Feel free to contact Robb or Jason if you have any other questions.

A group of Design students recently did an audio presentation about the Davis Bike Collective. Their goal was to make a 3 minute audio piece that would introduce the listener to the Davis Bike Collective. They just shared it with us for our use!

Thanks Prerna Dudani, Jenna Bondlow, Ka Mei kwan, and Yekaterina Novikova for making and sharing this with us!

Bike Forth Closed This Weekend: BiciBici 2011

Last Updated on Wednesday, 30 March 2011 12:26 Written by Admin Wednesday, 30 March 2011 12:14

Bike Forth will be closed this weekend. That means no Saturday shop hours and no WTF on Sunday. This may sound bad but in fact it isn't! We are hosting the second annual BiciBici conference for west coast Bike Collectives. We will have 75 or so folks from around California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington that all run shops similar to ours. If you'd like to volunteer to help out you can register here and if you'd just like to come by and see what's going on we will have a Davis Deadly Derby on Saturday @ 4pm where you can race against the best West Coast bike radicals. Check out the program for more stuff too.
