Community Engagement / upcoming events

•  Sunday, June 9, 2019 at 2 PM – 5 PM 

 Community High School Backyard (across Fifth Ave. from Kerrytown, 407 N. Fifth Ave, Ann Arbor, MI))

 The Cargo Bike Curious, and owners of cargo bikes of all kinds, are invited to gather at 2:00pm in the backyard of Community High School. Cargo bike owners will offer demo rides on their bikes/trikes to the Cargo Bike Curious. Urban Rider Cargo Bikes will have some cargo bikes available for demo rides, as well. At 3:00 (or so), we will take a short ride to Riverside Park, on the B2B Trail, to play on the playground and admire one another's bikes some more.
Cargo bike makers represented will include Urban Arrow, Babboe, Yuba, Triobike, Riese and Müeller,  

 LOOKING TO HIRE A BIKE MECHANIC - PART TIME (20 hours/week or so, may go FULL-TIME). Hi Everyone! We've grown to the point to where we need another mechanic capable of assembling, tuning and repairing bikes and ebikes. Availability should be somewhat flexible during normal business hours of 10 am - 7 pm seven days / week. Prior experience is not completely required if candidate possesses a high degree of mechanical aptitude and willingness to learn - especially about eBikes. Candidate must also possess the willingness to do whatever tasks are required to help keep a bike shop running smoothly. This would include disposal of waste such as boxes and packaging, keeping store and workplace tidy, etc. Personal skills such as being able to interact with customers in a friendly, understanding manner would be a plus, but not necessarily required. Willingness to use a personal vehicle such as a pickup truck for running errands would also be a plus. Position is for the downtown Ypsilanti store, but may occasionally require tasks in the Ann Arbor Kerrytown location. If you know of anyone that would be interested, please let them know and have them contact us. Thanks!
