November 10th Meeting Information

The board of directors has clarified the requirements for obtaining a Purple & Yellow key. A member needs to volunteer and log six hours of work before obtaining their key. As before, a membership can be obtained either by purchase (15$) or by also volunteering six hours. Thus a non-member can obtain a key by volunteering a total of twelve hours, two for the membership and two for the key. Previous arrangements will still be honoured of course.

Our Bike Trailer Workshop has finished; Kevin, Jean-François and Marv, with the help of Jim Hoehnle finished the physical construction of the new trailer. It is slightly shorter than the previous "workhorse", but wider and hopefulyl sturdier. It still needs bits filed down and several coats of paint before use. In the future, the participants will be able to share their knowledge and help others build their own bike trailers.

Bike to Work Week Station

A little too late as notification, but the VACC, TREK and the Bike Co-op collaborated this morning in running a Bike Commuter Station at UBC. Cyclists got free coffee, snacks, and the opportunity to enter prize raffles. Thanks to everyone who came out!
