What do you do when you finally get the okay from the county to build out the new shop? Call in the electrician and start mixing up the paint!
**BikeAthens Shop Update**
Everyone has been asking when we will finally be open to the public. The short answer is hopefully soon.
This week, we finally got the paperwork we need to proceed with all the construction, electrical, and plumbing. We got 25 gallons of free paint to get us started rocking and rolling.
How can you help?
Our shop has been officially closed since the middle of August, and we`ve taken a pretty big hit to our normal Fall revenues from bike sales and service. If you are able, please visit bikeathens.org/give and help out by becoming a recurring donor. Giving $5 OR $10 a month really makes a difference for us in this new location.
Watch this space for volunteer opportunities to help out in the coming days and weeks ahead.
If you need help with your bike in the meantime, email shop@bikeathens.org to set up an appointment.
We will see you soon.

About the event
PTK Play Day on the Block
You`re invited! Please join the Athens Technical College chapter of Phi Theta Kappa for our student-sponsored Play Day on the Block community service event on Saturday, November 18, 2023, from 12:00 - 3:00 pm at Bishop Park in Athens.
Play Day on the Block is where kids and families get active, play at the park, and enjoy festivities while receiving helpful information from resource organizations and agencies dedicated to helping families in Athens. We know play is essential for increasing mindfulness, positivity, and wellness. Part of our mission is to show how play is transformative to the mind and can help improve community wellness. The event will feature team games like a wiffleball tournament, kickball, corn hole, giant Jenga, food trucks, and live music by Dooley & Baldwin.

Registration is open for our next True Beginner class! We are once again partnering with ACC Trails and Open Space to bring this class to the community.
The class is designed for adults that never learned how to ride as a kid. We`ll go over balancing on the bike, proper technique for stopping and starting and practice some parking lot maneuvers if there is time. It`s a good way to build skills by starting from the beginning. The goal is to offer a dedicated time and space to practice some basic skills and answer any questions that come up.
Sign up today! Link in bio.

Everyone knows that Porchfest is this Sunday, but did you know that the best way to get around it is by bike? That`s why BikeAthens is partnering with @HistoricAthens again to offer free bike repairs for anyone biking around the event. We will be at our new shop location from 12pm-6pm, right in the center of it all. If you have a flat tire or any other mechanical issues, txt 706-249-9550 or stop by the shop.
We`re right across from Athentic Brewing, under the new Daily Grocery.
