Ride Ready Repair
Saturday afternoon at Hiram Johnson High School. A big school- and community-wide event.
I was so grateful Elaine and Terri volunteered to help out. It was quite busy at times. We took in about 30 bikes for repair and handed out free raffle tickets.
Ride Ready at Mather Veteran’s Village
Our second week and not many bikes came in for repair, so our shift ended early. Diana came with me. She is the communications manager for SABA.

Ride Ready at Mather Veteran’s Village
Yesterday morning, I went to the SABA staff meeting and learned a receptionist was needed today for a bike repair clinic at Mather Veteran’s Village.
Mather Veteran’s Village provides critically needed veteran housing with supportive services located on the former Mather Air Force base in Rancho Cordova. It provides 50 permanent supportive homes for formerly homeless and disabled veterans plus transitional housing for many more. SABA brought 15 rehabilitated bicycles to give away.
My station:
Many happy customers.
Brainstorming
Becky, Pierson and I met at Chevy’s on the River for lunch and chatted about potential bike education programs that SABA could offer to the public, non-profits, businesses.
Bike Doc
This morning, I worked as the receptionist at Bike Doc at the North Natomas Farmer’s Market. We took in 51 bikes which were serviced by about 8 mechanics FREE of charge.
LCI Spotlight
I was chosen for the League of American Bicyclists League Cycling Instructor spotlight for their March 21 e-newsletter. Thank you so much, Deb Banks, for nominating me! Working with SABA and Jibe for the past 8 years has been so personally rewarding and just plain fun. Great organizations and great people to work with.
