Slaughterama 7

LAdies and gentlemen, the time has come once again for the world to turn upside down, and the Zombies to head north on their second expedition to compete on the infamous Belle Isle for bike club glory in the 2010 Slaughterama. LAst year we came back bruised, battered, and more than our freak bikes were broken, but also the Zombie name was on the lips of many. So we are welding like fiends in preperation for this prestigious event. May we be on your minds, and may the legend grow of ZBBC.

What kind of work do you do?

Our volunteer mechanics do everything from tube repairs to bottom bracket adjustments at the lowest prices. On weekends, and days we are fully staffed, the shop is also open for guided repairs, which means we offer the use of our equipment and know-how to help you learn how to repair your own bike. We also build up several bikes a month for sell, and are eager to help out with any bike builds you might have thought up. All of our parts and frames are used/donated, but we will work with you to get the right parts should you want to buy new and learn how to assemble.

Besides shop stuff, what kind of events do you do?

We host weekly games of bike polo on Sundays just after 4pm. Co-op volunteers are also working with other members of the bicycle community in activities such as the upcoming October 11th Bike Night (http://thenightride.blogspot.com/) where we will host bike repair workshops. We also are looking forward to creating a bicycle installation at Art Walk within the next couple months. A long-term goal we have is a kids repair program, where enrolled kids will earn donated bike frames through repair lessons and group rides (modeled after Philadelphia’s bike program; see neighborhoodbikeworks.org). Other ideas we are hoping to implement soon will be bi-monthly movie nights at the shop, monthly shows and polo tournaments. If you have any ideas, or places you would like to see us at, please email us details!
