March 11th at 4pm is shop improvement night at Bike Farm! We use these nights to make repairs, improvements and organize the shop space. We need you! All are welcome! Bring your ideas, snacks and beverages to share!

Starting Winter 2012, Portland Community College will launch a bike rental program at their Cascade campus and Bike Farm is part of it! For only $15 per term, students can rent a bike for the duration of one or a maximum of three consecutive terms. Students will be responsible for their own repairs and maintenance, so each bike will come with a Bike Farm membership!  Organized and maintained by the Associated Students of PCC (ASPCC), the Cascade Bike Program is sponsored in part by Cyclone Bicycle Supply, The Community Cycling Center, Portland Design Works and of course, Bike Farm!  We are very excited to be involved and look forward to seeing PCC students in the shop.  For more information, see the Cascade Bike Program website and bikeportland.org’s coverage.  Happy Wrenching!

Finally! Bike Farm now has a reliable and cheap way to process Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover Cards! With Spring and Summer just around the corner, now would be a good time to stop in and sign up for that one year membership! Think of all the projects you could get done!

On the first and third Tuesdays of each month, Bike Farm hosts a women & trans wrenching night!  Please stop by and spread the word!  If you’re interested in volunteering, our next orientation is Jan. 24th at 6:30pm in the shop.  Monthly volunteer orientation occurs every fourth Tuesday of the month.  More info at http://bikefarm.org/get-involved/

Bike Farm will be closed December 24th and 25th. Happy Holidays everyone!
