The March schedule in the previous post has not changed. We still operate by appointment and you must call 651-641-1037 to schedule. Be sure to leave your first and last name on the voicemail, your telephone number, and what kind of appointment you want. The choices are bicycle purchase, bicycle repair, or donation appointment. To get a gift bicycle, you need to leave your first and last name, your telephone number, and the height and gender of the person who will ride the bicycle. If you have a case worker, your case worker must call to request the bicycle for you. Case workers are responsible for picking up bicycles and delivering them to clients.
We will again accept bicycle donations on Tuesday evenings beginning on March 23. There are a limited number of appointments available. Times are at 5:15, 6:15, and 7:15 PM. You must call 651-641-1037 to schedule, and your appointment isn’t confirmed until we call you back. We will provide drop off instructions when we confirm your appointment. We still are very limited on storage space as well as volunteers to process bicycles, so please, if you are donating a bicycle, be sure it is in good condition. If it sat outside all winter and is rusty, or has dried weeds in the wheels, chances are it should be recycled elsewhere. Right now we need hybrid bicycles to fit men 6’0″ and over.
We announce our outdoor sales on our Facebook page, and we also post on the Facebook group Twin Cities Bicycle Discussion and Advice. Outdoor sales depend on good weather and available volunteers. We typically announce a few days in advance.
We will be closed beginning April 1 for Easter break. We will reopen on Sunday, April 11. There will be no drop off appointments available on Tuesday, April 6. We will operate our regular schedule from Sunday April 11 through the end of April. Those hours are Sundays from noon to 4 PM; Tuesdays from 5 PM to 8 PM; and Thursdays from 5 PM to 8 PM. You must have a confirmed appointment, and all appointments are done by phone at 651-641-1037.
