Meeting #6 - Rebuilding II - 12/14/2015

Today, with JE, TZ, JD, GM, RK and MS, we installed the new seat tube and saddle, remounted the chain guard, replaced the back wheel's tube, and put on some decorative valve caps:

Friday, we'll install the spring fork, handlebars, front wheel, and finish this project.

Great thanks to the MPH Parent's Association for helping with this project and with affording the MPH Bicycle Mechanics Club the means to buy tools and to set up a permanent bicycle workshop in the Fab Lab.

MPH Bicycle Mechanics Club helping with the CNY Bike Giveaway

On Saturday morning, with JE, JD, SF and Mr. Stegeman, our crew probably fixed 20 bikes together and triaged a few more, a small dent in the goal of 2500 bikes to be handed out at Fowler High School on December 19th. That was some real hands on experience for our club's US mentors. Thanks Mr. Stegeman for the Pizza!

Volunteering Opportunity for All Students

On Saturday, 12/12/2015, the MPH Bicycle Mechanics Club will participate in the CNY Bike Giveaway at the New York State Fairgrounds from 11:00 to 4:00. 

All students are welcome to join and get some fun experience volunteering by helping load and unload donated bikes from trucks and repairing them before they are donated to children in need at Fowler High School on December 19.

Those interested should get in touch with M. Leclercq, or go directly to the NYS fairgrounds this Saturday at 10:00 a.m., and meet the program director, Jan Maloff, himself a former MPH student.
