Join us tonight for the September Joy Ride. This ride marks the final Joy Ride that will start out from the old shop location on Broad Street.
Our Joy Rides are casual group rides around Athens that provide a fun and safe atmosphere for all skill levels. We follow the rules of the road and stop to re-group as needed during the ride. We leave nobody behind.
After the 8 mile ride we`ll be ending at Athentic Brewing with views overlooking the new shop location. Hope to see you there!

It`s Thursday, but tonight is not Fix Your Own Bike.
Tonight, we`ll be around the shop for a couple of hours breaking it all down and packing it up for storage. If you want to check out what`s still on the sales rack or help with the dismantling, join us.
We`ll be listening to @beat_up_band and other punk rock favorites till 8PM.
We especially want to thank everyone that donated this week. It`s been a huge boost for us. We love serving this community and look forward to when we can build things back up rather than tearing them down.
If you haven`t caught up to our current situation, check out the link in bio for the latest news.

An urgent update from board president Jason Perry:
BikeAthens has been forced to move, after seven years in our current location, due to circumstances beyond our control.
We have a prospective place to land that, if it works out, will be an incredibly cool move for us.
To make this work, we need more monthly donors to close at least a $2000 monthly revenue gap for rent.
We will also need a short-term boost of at least $5000 to make the new space operable.
And, very soon, we will need many volunteers to help with the move.
If you’re one of our donors, thank you. Please consider an increase to your monthly or annual contribution. If you usually give at the end of the year, please consider an early donation if you can.
If you’re not a donor and you’d like to help us out, please visit bikeathens.org/give. We use a donor platform called Givebutter that allows you to set up monthly or one-time payments with a card, Venmo, or PayPal, whichever you prefer. Thank you for helping us serve this community, and we appreciate any dollar amount you can give.
We will post weekly updates if not more frequently on social media and at bikeathens.org. Stay tuned for more about volunteer needs.
Again, thank you for you support as we work to build equity in transportation through service, advocacy, and education.
