All, Slow last week, as to be expected.

Currently have 8 bikes for sale with a couple more queued up. Should have about 15 ready to go by end of the week.

Instead of having student workers build bikes piecemeal, this week I’ll try having each staffer be responsible for a bike—basically just a B-a-B but for sale. The hope here is that it will be a more holistic and teachable situation seeing a bike through from start to finish, just as the B-a-B program is. I tried this with one staffer last week and he was noticeably more engaged and hustling by the end, trying to get the bike done. It’ll help that we won’t have to figure out “what’s been done?” when each staffer comes in for their shift, too.

This week will be building bikes, organizing, and drafting student staff training guides.

The numbers:

Visitors: 62
Sales: $235.50
Memberships: 5 for $150
Tire/tubes: 4 for $25

Thanks!
