The Depot in 2022

We held weekly open workshops on Thursday evenings from June through September.
Patrick was one of the regular volunteers at open workshops.
Our strawberry beds kept expanding and spreading!
We sorted and organized lots of parts such as brakes…..
pedals….
seats…..
handlebars…..
helmets…..
tubes.
Painting the interior was a common theme and activity.
Here’s Patrick checking a tube or leaks by inflating and dunking in a container of water……
as he helped out this gentleman with his tires.
Folks learning together.
Got the porch roof restored.
Ursula working on brakes it looks like.
Painting continues.
Ursula and Frank visited two community bicycle shops in Quebec City to learn more about how they function and provide services.
An open workshop session where some volunteers including Ursula, Brian, and Xavier sorted inner tubes.
We found our mascot buried under debris outside the building – piglet wearing their bicycle helmet!
We had a successful Repair Clinic for Women, Trans, and Non-binary cyclists!
Our last (?) work session of 2022.
painting of the parts room……..
scraping the ceiling and painting walls in the entry and general purpose room.
Another regular visitor Layleigh.
