Durham Bike Co-op Anniversary Bike Ride and New Space Open House, Saturday, April 25th

Please join the Durham Bike Co-op on Saturday, April 25, as we celebrate our 8th anniversary and our upcoming new workshop space in Duke Park! 

Bike Ride: Join us for a "History of the Co-op" Bike Ride starting at 1 PM from our current location at 715 Washington St. This will be a slow-paced ride with a brief stop in downtown Durham, ending at our future space. Helmets are required and children must be accompanied by an adult. (We will be riding on city streets and in hilly areas, so this ride is not suitable for very small children unless in a trailer or bike seat.)

Open House: Everyone is invited to drop in between 3 and 5 PM for a tour of our future workshop space - see it now before construction starts! We'll have a tour of the site, a prize drawing, snacks, and free helmets for kids and youth, courtesy of our partners at Safe Kids Durham and NCDOT. 

We are thrilled about a unique partnership with the City of Durham Parks and Recreation Department to utilize a former maintenance facility for our new workshop space. The support of the Duke Park Neighborhood Association has been instrumental in making this opportunity possible. We hope to move to our new location this summer.  In order to relocate, we must up-fit the new facility with a wheelchair-accessible restroom and a retrofitted workshop. Our goal is to raise $50,000 to help fund the renovations. To read more or donate, visit http://www.razoo.com/story/Durham-Bicycle-Cooperative.

We hope you can join us April 25th as we celebrate our past and look forward to our future!
