Reverse Shipping Party! Sunday Dec 4@1PM
Hello Friends, Comrades and Associates of Working Bikes,
We will be receiving an early holiday present this weekend from our volunteers west of us, a shipment of bikes will arrive Sunday afternoon and we will need help unloading those bikes.
Any wonderful volunteers willing to brave the weather and skip the televised Bears game in favor of an audio transmittal while unloading, we will be forever indebted to.
If our eternal gratitude and free pair of jersey gloves is not enough to entice you, we also plan on having delicious Whole Foods Pizza and Lemonade.
