Schwinn World Tourist – $125 SOLD!

This thing’s basically the Cadillac Deville of two wheeled pedal-propelled vehicles – it’s got tons-a-flow. First of all, the fenders match the rest of the bike – that’s dope! Secondly, the basket’s capacity measures in at $1,000 worth of New Seasons groceries (one paper bag full) so you know this things capable. And last but not least with 12 gears this thang flaunts some serious stately steez.

Now you gotta ax yo-self, “Am I 5’11” – 6’3” tall?”
If you are you’re in luck, this bike’ll fit you.
Interested? Stop by Bike Farm while we’re open (hours on the left) and have yourself a looksee.

Lish from 56a Bikespace interviewed mechanics and profiled Bike Farm this summer.  There’s a slideshow and interview with two Bike Farm volunteers!

The feature is now up on their website:

Bike Farm’s monthly volunteer orientation is tonight at 6:30pm in the shop. Anyone curious about volunteering should attend! Immediately following orientation is our general monthly shop meeting. We use these meetings to discuss shop needs, proposals, and other day-to-day business at Bike Farm. Everyone is welcome!

Bike Farm is now conducting a monthly volunteer orientation night!  These happen on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm in the shop. You will learn how Bike Farm works, our mission, meet other volunteers and get a better sense of what you might want to do. You don’t need to be a mechanic to volunteer!

If you cannot attend the monthly orientation, please show up during any open shift and talk to a mechanic to volunteer. We always have things to do and need the help!

Please see our newly updated volunteer page to find out more.

Finally getting around to posting pictures from the Marshall High School Fix-it Fair on May 21st that Shannon, Ralph and I rep’d for Bike Farm. We fixed bikes, drank coffee and got good n’ greasy. Thanks to all that made this event happen!
