Ever go on a bike ride see a bunch of trash on the side of the road and think someone should clean it up because it would enhance your ride? Well, that someone can be you. Come help make our roads look better. Many hands make light work.
The best part is meeting other like minded people who are giving back to make our community a better place.
Hey everybody, clean up time again. We will meet at the church’s lower parking lot, drive up and walk back picking up garbage. Bring water, good shoes, and a poker/grabber. I have the bags and vests. Food somewhere after is usually a thing.
Old Pueblo MTB has done a couple of these Bike Builds now, and word has gotten out that we’ve been amazing.
Last year 2023 & in 2022 we assembled a teams to put together 115 bikes that were donated by Jim Click, The Conquistadors & El Tour De Tucson for a big city wide event getting 500 new bikes into the community for families in need. We had some of the best mechanics and helpful hands OPMTB has to offer who just killed the assembly in record time.
This time Tucson Refugee Ministry needs our help. They received a grant to get 100 Bikes they can give to Adult Refugees here in Tucson in their system, much needed transportation. These Bikes will help these Refugees get back on their feet, give them transportation to get to Jobs & Schooling.
This Saturday – March 2nd, 2024 we’ll just be assembling half of them… or about 50 bikes. Based on our experience, and with about 12-15 “mechanics” and the support help we’ve already lined up, we expect that to go quickly.
We’re looking for 12-15 “Skilled” Bike assembly mechanics to help for a few hours. We’d love to have you on the team if you have some basic tools you can bring and want to be apart of assembling these bikes. Please speak up here if you’d like to be on the team again, or for the first time.
SECONDARY OPPORTUNITY
ALSO AVAILABLE TO HELP ::: we’ll be doing a “Flat Repair Clinic” at 1:00pm to teach some of these new bike owners how to fix a flat with the appropriate repair kits they are going to receive. If this is something you want to help with this would be from 1:00pm – 3:00pm.
