*YOU TOO CAN BECOME A BIKE MEDIC
If you are interested in becoming a consistent volunteer at Troy Bike
Rescue, please contact us (use the contact form at:
http://troybikerescue.org/contact). Learn to wrench on bikes in a
friendly and supportive environment, then share your skills with
newbies. Bike Medics Unite!

*TROY WATERFRONT FARMERS MARKET
TBR is now at the farm market in Troy every weekend. You can now wrench
on your bike on Saturday mornings, or just come and hang out with
volunteers at our table.

*WTF!?!?
Women Trans Femmes night had a great turnout this month. We fixed a lot
of brakes, listened to some good music, worked on building a single
speed and had a great time. Check us out next month, we'll be looking at
wheel bearings during the shop time.
