FireFly Ride Tomorrow!! and more!!!

Posted on September 24, 2020 by commonwheels| Comments Off on FireFly Ride Tomorrow!! and more!!!

Big Weekend Ahead For CommonWheels!!


The autumnal equinox was this week, but we're charging full speed ahead on a fun calendar of events in the next month! We wanted to make the most of this great weather, so we're going to have some socially distant rides and adventures! So without futher ado:

 

Firefly Forest Ride 

So first up, tomorrow, 9/25, we will be hosting a socially distant, mask required, 10 mile bike ride. We are meeting at 6:30pm at the location of our Saturday Open Shop at the Grove, the park across from Lower Allston Trader Joe's. 

Many of you have ridden the Charles River bike path, but we wanted to share with you one of our favorite secrets right outside our doorstep. At nighttime riding this path westward becomes this wonderful calm ride through some beautiful woods.

We will be handing out bike lights and other forms of illumination, but we STRONG ENCOURAGE you bring your own lights if available. AllstonVelo and Landry's both have plenty of lights for very affordable prices. We're going to dress to light up night, and we strongly suggest you do too!

The route itself will be very manageable and easy, with our main stopping point at Moody Street in Waltham, where we will take a break and check out a really cool Livable Streets implementation before our return voyage on the other side of the river. We look forward to having a magical time and getting to see one of Boston's coolest nighttime treasures.

Volunteer On Boarding/Open Shop Rescheduled to Sunday


So with the Black Lives Matter IV ride happening Saturday afternoon we thought it would be important to encourage folks to attend, given the events of the week, and we're moving both the Volunteer Onboarding and the Open shop to Sunday.

CommonWheels is looking for volunteers to help us with our new schedule, including rides, open shops, and opportunities to work with local youth, and we'd love to have your help!  Sunday we are encouraging folks who are interested in getting involved to join us either an hour before and an hour after our Open Shop for some talk about our mission and how we can work together to help our neighbors! As always, please consider donating to us if that's more your speed!
We're so excited to bring you folks some end of season events, and we're looking forward to planning some more socially distant activities. We're going to have quite the October planned for y'all so keep an eye on our website and facebook for the latest in CommonWheels goings on


safe riding, and hopefully see yall tomorrow!!

Late August Update

Posted on August 24, 2020 by commonwheels| Comments Off on Late August Update

Open Shops are Go!!

Folks! Things have been heating up here at CommonWheels, and we wanted to show you all how busy we've been. If you haven't heard, we've been hanging out at the Brighton Village Farmer's Market on Wednesdays from 3p-7p, and as of this week we had our second Open Shop at The Grove, across from Trader Joe's in Lower Allston from 1p-5p. We've missed all of you, and we're going to be at both those places every week until at least October!

We wish we could throw another Musical Mystery ride, but in the meantime we'd love to see photos of your bike adventures! Tag us on instagram (@commonwheels) or facebook and let us show everybody how you've been darting about town.

 

Charlesview Family Open Shop and Ice Cream Ride


Last Sunday we set up an extra special open shop to fix up all the bikes of the families over at the Charlesview. With the forecast not great, we expected to pump up a few tires, but we forgot about how gossip gets around the community. We barely set up our stands when two kids rode by, saw us, immediately u turned back into the complex, and ten minutes later we had A TON OF KIDS in masks and helmets getting ready for a nice leisurely ice cream ride. We're so excited to be back out and about, and we super can't wait to do even more pop up bike rodeos and fix it sessions with all the beautiful fall weather around the corner.

Call for Volunteers


Now that CommonWheels is officially rolling, we super need your help! We're looking for folks who want to get more involved in the local bike scene, and we'd love to have you! Volunteering is simple. Send an email to info@commonwheels.org, and we'll send signups for our upcoming events. Easy peasy. There may or may not even be pizza involved sometimes. Who's to say? You can find out by emailing us, or coming to one of our open shops!  



That's it from us folks! We hope to see you at our Open Shops this week, and stay tuned for our Fall Events!


Rubber side down!

CommonWheels Stands with #BlackLives Matter

Posted on June 4, 2020 by commonwheels| Comments Off on CommonWheels Stands with #BlackLives Matter

Folks,

We at CommonWheels are incredibly saddened by the unfolding events in America this past week. We want to tell you unequivocally that CommonWheels stands with Black Lives Matter against police brutality, and the murder and oppression of our citizens. Our mission is to use the bicycle as a tool that empowers all people to be more self-reliant, healthy, and connected to their community. We at CommonWheels have made the conscious effort to work with marginalized communities in Allston-Brighton, from low-income families, to recent immigrants, to unhoused families, and help them use the bicycle as a tool for empowerment, and we will continue to support our neighbors in any way possible. Our community is so diverse and wonderful and our programming and open shops are designed to uplift that and bring us all positive change. We advocate for bicycles as a healthy tool for our neighbors to enrich their lives, and provide opportunities for work and life and we will continue to support our community as these events unfold.

We are including a list of resources to help educate you in this conflict and we hope that you folks will help us help our neighbors.

There are many ways to support the struggle, and while we encourage you all to stay safe, we have included a link to the Mass Bail Fund and we urge you to not only donate money to causes like this but please call your politicians to urge a meaningful and peaceful resolution to this crisis.

Stay strong, keep looking out for each other, and see you on the streets!

CommonWheels Late May Newsletter


Folks! Hope everybody is staying safe and getting outside now that the weather is beautiful out! We think it's certainly a great time to dust off that bike in the basement, and we're here to help. Our very own Tristan ran their first FB Live video a week ago covering the ABC's of bike maintenance, or Air, Brakes, and Chain maintenance. If you have further questions about getting your bike in shape, we're hosting another FB Live video this Sunday (5/31) at 1pm to help launch our #RepairMatch service.

We'd also like to take this time to ask you folks to help us promote biking in Boston. All we want is for you to take a selfie of you and your bike ride and tag us on social media! We'd love to spread people's bike stories, so absolutely @commonwheels on your platform of choice and let's share all our socially distant rides as we adventure in this wonderful weather.

That being said, we'd like to take a second to highlight some of your neighbors who have been helping us with our food insecurity campaign! 

Operation #Wheels4Meals


As you all know, CommonWheels has been working hard during this lockdown to help support our neighbors and we are so very proud of everybody who has volunteered. As of today, we've done 218 deliveries since we launched in March, bringing over 4,000lbs of food to homebound residents of Allston-Brighton. We wanted to highlight a few of our volunteers, because one of the things we're most proud of about #Wheels4Meals is how human it is. We're all just neighbors helping each other, and with this lockdown, we can't think of a better way to stay connected to others. So with no further ado: 
This is Rani, one of our wonderful volunteers who's been delivering with panniers. In her own words: "Rani earned how to ride a bike about three years ago and has fallen in love with the feeling of freedom, the adventures, and the Boston bike community. She now spends most of her free time advocating for safer streets for pedestrians and cyclists and better public transportation, or going on long rides trying to get lost in the woods"
Max here is an old friend of CommonWheels. He headlined one of our Musical Mystery rides a few years ago with one of the most unique and interesting uses of a digeridoo, a looper, and the Harvard Coliseum. He's a pedicabber, community activist, and a whole lot more and we at CW are grateful he's stuck around!
Pre COVID, if you were looking for Christian, all you had to do was wait somewhere in the vicinity of Fenway Park during a game day.  Not only is he loud and annoying, but he's really slow, so it's more or less impossible to miss the spectacle of this energetic, wonderful human being. He's fiercely passionate about community work and bicycles and through his org, TrikeHub he's also been working hard on trying to use bikes to solve the myriad problems of a coronavirus world.

#RepairShare: CW's remote open shop initiative


The other exciting thing we wanted to talk about was our new #RepairShare program. We're trying our best to get Open Shops running, but fo the meantime we're debuting #RepairShare to help you folks fix your bikes. We will be running a Facebook Live event 5/31 at 1pm until 3pm where we'll be doing remote diagnosis of bike problems. So feel free to pop in with your questions, and we'll do our best to guide you through the process! Our COVID bike resource has a detailed listing of bike shop hours and a few repair guides to help you through the process. Come hang out with us on FBLive on Sunday, we'd love to have you!
