Thanks From Bikes 4 Vets

by Diann Dimitri

A belated shout-out to all the generous folks who contributed to the Bikes 4 Vets project this year.

Many of you donated during the Horse Farm Hundred and the Santa Fe Century, in addition to the Verterans Day Poker Run.

Trek, Super Cool, Bikes & More, GoodBike, Pedego, and REI have donated used bikes, used tires and other bike parts, most of which we reuse or rehab.

Any Bikes and stuff we don't use, we donate to the Repurpose Project.

We have two dedicated vets who run a bike clinic every Sunday from 10-2 pm to rehab bikes for those vets who're on the list to get a bike. They are Pete Klavuhn and Gerry Kincheloe. Another vet, Daniel Morris, shows up to help when his health allows. If you are a good mechanic and would like to help, come on out any Sunday.

Your financial donations help pay for new parts such as tires, tubes, chains, grips, cables, etc.

Each vet who gets a bike also gets a lock, lights, and a safety vest. While we ask for the vet to make a contribution toward these items, if they are unable they still get them. They also get a bike helmet furnished by the PedBike Resource Center.

We've been running this project for close to 10 years now and with your support we'll keep going.

If you have any questions about our work, don't hesitate to email me.

Board Elections

If you would like to run for a position on the Board of Directors, contact any Board member or email us. If we have a contested seat, there will be an election through the Members Area in January. To get on the ballot, we must have your intention to run by Friday, December 22.

We currently have two open seats on the Board.

The Membership Services Director contacts new members to welcome them and assist them in signing up for riding groups and getting into the club in general.

The Century Director is the overall manager of the Gainesville Cycling Festival.

If you're interested in either position, the Board can appoint you to the position; if we get multiple persons interested, we'll elect one in January.
