First (ever) Annual Bikery Art Auction
I'm really excited about The Bikery. It is a nonprofit organization located on the corner of 14th & Jackson that offers, among other things, bicycle maintenance classes on a sliding scale. I'm a DIY kind of gal, and I know a lot of other people are like me and don't want to spend the money and/or can't afford to bring their bike into a bike shop to get repaired. I mean, even an annual tune-up can get pricey if you take it to a bicycle mechanic at a bike shop. Did you even know that you need to tune-up your bike every year? Do you know what a tune-up entails? If not, you better go to The Bikery and find out. The Bikery offers a place and instructors who will show you how to take care of your bike.
The Bikery is a volunteer run non-profit organization that strives to improve the accessibility of the bicycle both as a form of sustainable and healthy transportation and as the foundation of a distinct culture throughout the city of Seattle and particularly in the Central District. Through collaborative hands-on education and the sharing of empowering skills, the Bikery strives to cultivate the personal, social, and environmental benefits of cycling.
Because it is a non-profit, The Bikery, of course, needs the support of the community. One way you can help is you can attend the first Bikery Art Auction on October 25. You can also donate art for the auction (the deadline for submissions is October 23). Please contact The Bikery with submissions or questions at 206-568-3535, info@thebikery.org, or during open hours. The Bikery is located at 1265 S. Main St., Suite #104 (Sat 12-6, Sun-Tues 2-8). The auction will be held at 20/20 Cycles.
