The Davis Bike Collective, Davis Bicycles!, and New Belgium Brewery are putting on one of the biggest events of the summer. Join us July 23 @ 7:30pm in Central Park for the "Clips of Faith Beer and Film Tour". New Belgium is bringing in kegs of specialty beer for us to taste along with an hour and a half long showing of several great films. We are also looking for volunteers to help serve beer, screen print, setup and clean up. Sign up below if you'd like to help out! All of the proceeds of the event go directly to us and Davis Bicycles! so we can continue to make biking great in Davis!

cLips of Faith Update

We at at the Davis Bike Collective and Davis Bicycles! want to express our sincerest gratitude for all of the help that each one of you gave to make the Davis cLips of Faith the biggest and best stop on the summer tour! We had 1500+ people, sold 160 gallons of beer, valeted 100+ bicycles and printed a ton of t-shirts! That was way more than we'd imagined. And as you know, the event was a fundraiser for both of our groups and we made $4000+ to be split between us to help keep Davis the great bicycling town that it is. So thank you all so very much, we couldn't have done it without you.

Special shout-outs go to the permit getters, the flier hangers, the newspaper callers, the social networkers, the mission leaders, the Farmer's market for the space, the Food Co-op for water and volunteers, the bike rack obtainers, Uncle Vito's for a volunteer, New Belgium for great beer, the ID and token givers, the beer pourers, the gypsy squad, the setup and takedown crew, the costume delivers, the photographers, the wristbanders and the token givers (and others that I'm surely forgetting).

Leave your feedback here!

The weather is GORGEOUS so I hope you are riding. Come by Bike Forth to tune up your bike, fix a new bike, volunteer, or just learn a new skill!  And tell your friends--you know, the one with the squeaky chain, or the one with bad brakes, or the one whose bike is serving as a trellis for the weeds.  We've changed Open Bike Night/Training times on Monday so there will now only be one event every Monday at 6:30.  Today is Wheel Building!  Hope to see you there!

Build a Wheel!

Today, Monday, at 6:30 come by Bike Forth to learn the basics of the art of wheel building.  It's so beautiful, says the Spokemistress.

One incredible workshop by two credible men on the important pieces that hold your front end together.  What’s between your forks and bars? The Mystery revealed, the Headset! Two kinds to consider and just one chance to learn both in one night on the 1^st of February.

… then …

Pack up your leftovers and a fresh apple pie, for a pot-luck and bike-story-time.   Read some classics like Flann O’’Brien, or share your own half-exaggerated tale of a tour gone awry and how it ended mostly well, but in the dark, and probably involving the police.
