2021/10/30 - Fall Bike Return Days (Day 3 - Oct 30)

September 25, 2021 is the start of our Fall Bike Return days! Clients who have borrowed an adaptive bike for the summer season will be returning bikes, and we need your help to make it happen. In order to keep our volunteers and participants safe (and to make use of our vertical storage system), bike returns will happen over three days. Families will be invited based on what sort of bikes they have, which will also simplify the work for our mechanics. These dates are: September 25 (Sat) October 17 (Sun) October 30 (Sat) Morning shifts will run from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Afternoon shifts will run from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM. There is a break in between shifts, and orientation for all positions will be provided. (Setup shifts are different; see below.) Because this form covers multiple days, please be careful and make sure you're signing up for the day you intend to volunteer! Location of all events: The Goodwill Impact Center, 11415-168 St NW Edmonton. If you are an able-bodied volunteer, please park along 114 Avenue so that the families can park closer to the event space for drop off. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we will not be able to offer food or snacks. Please bring your own bottle for water. Additionally, masks are required for all adults within the Impact Center, and we will supply hand sanitizer. While this will be a different event than years past, the result will be the same. We will be able to return the bikes and prep them for another child next year. As always, we at You Can Ride 2 (and the families) really appreciate your help and we look forward to seeing you on one of the volunteer days!
