Library Bikes – Arcata
The library bike program is alive, and well. Operational hours generally are 12-5 on Saturdays. They don’t have an online presence so it is best just to swing by. You may find them at this location at the end of the street. Currently about 4-5 volunteers take care of things at the shop. They usually have a limited amount of bikes in stock ready to go so supply are limited. If you do find a bicycle you would like to borrow it requires a 20-dollar deposit. You then keep it for as long as you would like to use it, short-term or long-term. More volunteers are welcome to go work on bikes. They do have tools on hand, and donating complete bikes are encouraged. They need bikes that are complete with all parts, and the volunteers can give them love to bring back to life. The library bikes also gladly will accept tool donations for the cause. Please stop by, and say hello when you are in the neighborhood. I’d like to Thank Joe Labani for taking the time to speak with me, and give this update to us on the program happenings.
