December 22, 6-8pm at CBSO

Bring your famous holiday snack to CBSO for some socializing with your favorite community bicycle volunteers! On display and in effect will be Omaha’s one and only Bike Blender to smooth your smoothie. Let us know if you can be there: omahabike@gmail.com.

Help us repair bikes as gifts for children this 2009 Holiday Season. CBSO is partnering with community agencies that need bikes for holiday presents for kids. Many of these kids are currently homeless and living in shelters. In our first year we are targeting 10 refurbished bikes and need your help to repair them and make them shine.

We have reserved two Sunday afternoons in December specifically for this project.

Join us on Sunday December 6, 2-5PM  or Sunday December 13, 2-5PM

Please RSVP if you are able to attend either workshop session. click here

Plan to attend CBSO’s next volunteer meeting on November 24 from 6-9pm. Gary Gebhard will lead a session on chain stretch. We’ll also discuss volunteer initiatives at CBSO and cover the basics of volunteering at the shop. Prospective volunteers welcome!

Our 2nd Annual Golden Spokes Awards Volunteer Appreciation event is coming up!
