Change from previous quarters:
Bikes will NOT be distributed directly after the Street Skills class as in quarters past. We will distribute the bikes on the morning of Saturday, October 14th at the Bike Library, adjacent to the service road side of Casa Segunda in Stevenson College, from 10am-2:30pm. At the Street Skills class we will be assigning times for folks to show up at 10 minute intervals from 10am-2:30pm. Please arrive on time on Saturday the 14th, and we will be able to get everyone going with a bike quickly!
By distributing bikes on Saturday, we will avoid what can often be a stressful process getting bikes to all Bike Library applicants, on a weekday evening. This will be a safer affair, since y'all won't be riding away in the dark, and the Bike Library coordinators will be able to give proper attention to every recipient. For those who have used the Bike Library before, you may know what we're referring to. For those who haven't, trust us, this will work better.
As you may have noticed, we have had to delay bike distribution until the week after the Street Skills class. This is due to scheduling conflicts with the UCSC cycling team, of which both Bike Library coordinators are officers and racers. We will be representing UCSC at Cal Poly, SLO's mountain bike race. Go Slugs!
We look forward to reviewing your applications next week!
