We are getting closer to kicking off the 2010 season of bike parking. Just a few weeks away from our first event at the Earth Day celebration. Keep an eye on this thread for volunteer needs throughout the year.

You can also find Pedal Instead here for event info and volunteer registration.

Currently we have a need for:

Volunteers for the Earth Day celebration

PVC Pipe (about nickel size in diameter) and Quickcrete (any scraps you have that are more than likely heading to the dumpster)

Businesses interested in advertising at our events

Stay tuned for more!

Cycling seems to be one small, tangible way to apply one's values. Taking it to the streets in this way is a tiny, but significant, part of the revolution, or perhaps, instead, reformation.

How much macrocosmic difference I am making, well, I don't know. But cycling is a way to transform my fears about the future into a keen appreciation for the present.

Community gardening and buying produce from a local farmer such as Wayne Shingler of Frijolito Farm and buying oatmeal from local Amish farmers is similarly affirming for my psyche.

Still looking for Earth Day. We are also waiting to confirm with OSU for the Spring Game.

These are pretty easy events if it's your first time volunteering with us. A great way to learn the ropes if you are looking ahead to be one of our Comfest or OSU football volunteers.

We are confirmed for Spring Game this Saturday. We will have the official volunteer shifts tomorrow night but if you are interested in signing up, let me know when you are available between 9-6. The times may change but we plan on being there and set up for the morning lacrosse game at 11 and the football scrimmage at 1:15.

Thanks to everyone who has made our opening week awesome, either by riding to the event or volunteering with us. We had 66 at Earth Day and are doing the final count from Spring Game.

Our next scheduled event is the Bike To Work Challenge Launch on May 10th. We'll be there to watch your bikes while you enjoy an awesome pancake breakfast, celebrate bikes and enjoy some other fun surprises.

We're also booked for Comfest, helping you navigate around the parking issues. We have the best parking spot at the event!

We are seeking more volunteers for both events. Check out the website to see shift times.

We'll be set up at Asian Fest tomorrow and sunday. We will also be in Goodale for Pride and Comfest in June. Looking for volunteers for Pride and Comfest.

Comfest awarded us a $2,000 grant this year for the construction of a pedal powered light system. This will allow us to flood the corral with light at night, instead of running around with dim flashlights. Come check it out this weekend and help charge the batteries.

Scratch the lighting system for this weekend, if you had your hopes up. Looks like we have a few kinks to work out.

Did I mention we're "growing" a forest over the weekend at Comfest?

Thanks to some awesome friends at The Fuse Factory and reFINDesign Workshop, we'll have a public art piece tied into the bike corral. Everyone who bikes and parks with us gets to add a leaf to our "trees" over the weekend.

After a few well deserved weeks of rest, Pedal Instead is back!

Our immediate need for volunteers is August 1. Yay Bikes! has partnered with Kurt Lehmkuhl, owner of Westerville Bike Shop and organizer of the Garret Wonders Race, to provide Pedal Instead service. We'll be set up in Westerville on Saturday and Downtown on Sunday. Shifts for Sunday are:

3 volunteers, 6-8:30 AM
1 volunteer 8:30-10:30
1 volunteer 10:30-12:30
1 volunteer 12:30-2:30 PM

I'll have the shifts set up on the UAEA log in by noon tomorrow.

We're finalizing details for this years Latino Festival and will need volunteers August 14-15.

Same goes for Bike the C-Bus. We will set up at 6 AM and tear down between 3 and 4:30PM.

OSU Football

We've begun looking at the game schedules to arrange our set up and tear down times. First two games are:

September 2 (Thursday) 1 PM-1 AM
September 11, 9 AM-10:30PM

We are also looking at being at Hot Times Friday, Saturday and Sunday the weekend of the 11th.

As we finalize shifts, we'll post a reminder here. Keep checking the UAEA volunteer page for opportunities. We are only looking at a 2 hour commitment from our volunteers. If anything stands out as something you want to work, send me a PM and I will block it off for you. There will also be at least one work day opportunity to prep some equipment prior to Bike the C-Bus and there are always opportunities to do data entry.

So our volunteer management system has been down. We are working hard to get it back up.

In the meantime, shoot me a PM here or email me at awhulvey@yaybikes.com if you have time available this coming Thursday for the Marshall game or Saturday for Bike the C-Bus.
