Wrenching Night (Thanksgiving 2011)
Thanks to Hanna, Bici Centro new shop manager who organized a very successful Bike Wrenching Night. A group of 35-40 volunteers came out on Friday night (just before Thanksgiving) and fixed FIFTEEN bikes, ready to place on the FOR SALE rack!

I think Keith Birtalan put it accurately when he said, "This is really amazing. It's not that often anymore that you see people come together in such a community effort." Except for that I believe we, as a community, are an exception. I have been repeatedly blown away by the extent of giving that comes from this group of folks. Thank you for giving it up yet again for Bici Centro.
And it totally worked! Already today we sold two of the bikes that were built last night. Both people walked away with huge smiles, the same ones little kids have when they get their first bicycle. That has to be one of the coolest things about bikes- that smile never goes away.
Ya'll rocked it out!"
THANK YOU! GRACIAS! MERCI! TACK! DANK U!
