Do you have any bike art you want to show at this fundraiser? We want to see it! Click "discussion" to view the call for submissions photo for details. Share this with your friends! If you'd be interested in making and/or selling any of your bike art at this fundraiser and donating any portion of proceeds to Rag & Bones, let us know in your email submission. Thanks y'all!
***Feel free to share the digital flyer photo also located in "discussions" tab of this event*** What might we be fundraising for, you ask? -Build-out of our new section of the space
-Improving our old, tired workbenches -Installation of a heating system to keep our fingers warm as we keep your bicycles creaking along through this winter
-Operational funds which pay for: payment of rent, shop supplies, a dedicated phone so you can call us and tell us your bike dreams (right now we have a google voice number), printing supplies to bring you and yours a well-stocked library of bike zines and print materials
-The general futurity of our project. We desire to shift our funding strategy from crisis-based, reactionary fundraising to a more proactive, planned fundraising model. We hope to continue having fundraising events throughout the year that allow us to fortify the bike community we help keep rolling.
P.S. If you didn't already know this, nobody gets paid at Rag & Bones. We are all volunteers. Come hang out!
DM with questions here or on Facebook event page!
A couple of long-time volunteers sat looking at the co-op from this angle the other night, one of whom helped start the project. As the daylight faded away, a thought floated between us, "Isn't it funny how some people walked in one day, got super jazzed whatever we're doing here, and some of them are still doing this same stuff 3 or 4 or 10 years later? Isn't it funny too that some people don't like what we're doing because it's too weird or messy or chaotic?"
We laughed and marveled at that dichotomy.
We hope if you're reading this and have never come to visit us, or if haven't been to our new spot, that you swing by and help us cook up whatever bike dream you've had stuck in the back of your mind.
It's been a rough time for our community, but we're here to keep y'all rolling. 🖤
Come sweat with us!!!!!
