Welcome to Bellingham, NOW GET A BIKE!

Words from Bellingham Local Josh Poulsen & a bike.

By Jeri Lynn Canfield-Martin

Origin & Outcome

I was sitting on the sofa, channel surfing, when I first came across competitive downhill biking, shown as part of an “Extreme Sports” show. After commenting to my husband, how those bikers were “crazy people” and how I would never, ever attempt such insanity myself, my husband said, “You realize that’s what your brothers do.” “NO WAY!” was my reply.

Cycling & Recycling
Words by Lee Ravenscroft

Bike styles change, kids grow out of their bikes and bikes fall into disrepair. In addition, bike shops charge as much as $90/hour to repair a bicycle which makes many department store bikes not cost effective to repair. That’s where Working Bikes Co-op fits in.
