Before the mayhem...

Rusty gears ready to spring into action.

This is the cleanest these tools will ever be.

If this sign is hanging up, the shop is open.

Our first bike repaired at the opening.

Anyone, young or old, can learn to make basic repairs.

With only two bike stands at the shop so far, this is the second-best method for making repairs.

The crowd grows...

And grows some more...

Cycling is a family affair.

Our Clarkston neighbors repaired over 20 bikes at the opening, and over 50 folks came to check out the new digs.

Clarkston Communicycle is open!

Tonight was the big night. Lots of kids from the area showed up and lots of bikes were fixed. We had an amazing crew of supporters and volunteers, some of whom showed up on bicycle themselves. Through all the chaos, we made some new friends, got a lot of bikes working, and closed the shop with a better idea of what Clarkston Communicycle is going to look like. Thanks to everyone who made Clarkston a success!

photos coming soon. for more, also see our page on Facebook.

Clarkston Grand Opening

Tomorrow (Thursday, September 8, 5-8pm) is the big day! Communicycle Clarkston is finally open to the community. Please stop by, and bring friends and neighbors to celebrate the launch of this new bicycle collective.

In addition to bicycle repairs, it would be great if everyone could bring some snacks to share -- fruits, sandwiches, whatever -- for the grand opening celebration. See you tomorrow at 5!

The First

The Clarkston shop has not yet opened its doors to the community, but we have already repaired a handful of bicycles. As we work to outfit the shop and train volunteers, curious passers-by often poke their heads through the bay door. And what better training could there be than to fix actual problems with actual bikes belonging to actual neighborhood folks.

Thanks to our volunteer Bill W. who was ready with his cell phone camera, we have a snapshot of a momentous occasion -- the first bicycle to be repaired at Communicycle Clarkston.

It's beginning to look a lot like Communicycle...

Thanks to all the volunteers (20 folks total) who made the Communicycle Clarkston work day a huge success. Once we put on the finishing touches and have a volunteer orientation, we are ready to go live! Here are a few photos from along the way today.

The shop's bay door opens up to a large basketball court with plenty of shaded work space.

Communicycle Clarkston is almost ready to offer complete bicycle service to the community members.
