Image from The Bikery

With a focus on being inclusive and affordable, The Bikery has operated its volunteer-run bike shop out of a storefront at 14th and S Main Street for years.

After successfully raising enough money to dig out of a financial crunch one year ago (thanks in part to many of you), the Bikery has reorganized and is moving its operations to Hiawatha Place and S Charles Street, filling a void left by the closing of Working Dog Bicycles.

That move starts today and will go through the weekend, and they could use a hand.

Details from the Bikery newsletter:

We found an awesome new space at 845 Hiawatha Pl S, the old Working Dog Bikes space.

We’re moving this weekend, 2/28-3/1, and we need your help to get there. Heck yeah, all volunteer hours will count towards shop credit!
