Shop Organizing/Cleanup Day!!!
October 8, 2008
Hello Bicycle friends!!!
Once again its Fall and we’re getting ready for our Annual Shop Organizing/Mass Cleanup day!
On Sunday the 19th of October instead of the normal sunday shop, we will have a Shop Organizing Day from 12:00-6:00.
During this Shop Organizing Day we will work on making more work areas in the shop, as well generally organizing the rest of the shop. We need as many people as possible, of all skill levels, to make this day a success. This is a great time to rack up hours to be put towards co-op membership and parts, as well as helping Velocipede to continue to pump bikes and bike knowledge in to the city!!! (plus vegan and non-vegan PIZZA will be provided for the workers)
Thank you all for time and for helping to make Baltimore more bike friendly. We will be posting more reminders and requests soon!! Remember that you can always keep abreast of events at Velocipede by checking our calendar at www.velocipedebikeproject.org/calendar

Best of Baltimore!
August 14, 2008
Hey everyone, we got picked as Best Green Transportation Initiative by Baltimore Magazine!
“Bikes whiz by frequently on the streets of Portland and San Francisco. In Baltimore? Not so much. But Velocipede Bike Project, 4 W. Lanvale Street, 410-244-5585, wants to change all that. The cooperative project collects donated bikes, teaches people how to repair them, and provides affordable, refurbished bicycles and parts to its members. To join, you pay a monthly fee of $33 or give three hours of volunteer time. Once you’re an official co-op member, you can pick out a frame, fix up a bike for yourself, and call it your own.”
Thanks Baltimore Magazine!
