Community Bike Project Omaha

Our doors are open tonight for an Advocacy Potluck regarding SATC’s ICE Watch & Community Defense Class.

This is a kid friendly event. Masks are encouraged.

For safety reasons we did not send out an RSVP. We will try our very best to accommodate everyone that comes through. With that being said, we have a limited amount of space and chairs, so please bring a folding chair just in case and be prepared to be in close quarters.

We are grateful to host y’all. If you have malicious intentions please stay home.

Thank you.

We look forward to hosting you all!

A large order of whistles are en route to the shop, if in time for the potluck, they will be distributed along with zines.

Thank you.

If you've visited the shop in the last few years, theres a chance you may have run into Charles, an outgoing, curious individual with an affinity for BMX bikes. He has been coming to the bike shop off and on for years, and more recently has volunteered countless hours to making the bike shop a better place, all while fighting addiction and homelessness. Regrettably, on December 9th, he was struck by a vehicle on his bike and passed away. This is and will always be our worst nightmare, losing a friend, peer, father, brother or community member in this way is simply not fair. As Charles' family moves forward, a hole is left in a formerly vibrant wake. We as an organization have decided to extend an opportunity to lend a hand to his family monetarily, to help them process their grief and properly send him off. If you are inclined to donate, there is a link to a gofundme in our bio, or you can reach out to us personally. If you are in the same boat as so many of us, and money is simply too tight, we urge you to tell a friend or peer instead.

Simply put, this tragedy is not merely a statistic. This is yet another needless loss of life in a barrage of tragedies, happening more and more as the years go by. Our leadership has responded with the usual thoughts and prayers and gentle reminders to drivers to pay attention and stop killing people with their cars, but it should be obvious. Nothing has happened as numbers run higher every year, as painted on bike lanes fade, and plans for new infrastructure run cold. When do we get to say that we've hit rock bottom? What is rock bottom, if not this? We need a real show of effort from those we've elected to represent us. We needed it yesterday. Our condolences extend to Charles' family and all those who have suffered a similar fate. The lack of infrastructure in Omaha speaks volumes in the face of these preventable pedestrian deaths. We would rather not be making this kind of post, and Im sure each of you would rather not see it. But hey, we at the Bike Project have realized our potential to engage in advocacy and would love to team up with like-minded individuals and organizations more moving forward. Feel free to reach out.

WTF WRENCH NIGHT NO 7.

Last month’s wrench night was a sweet time. We broke down the brake and shifting systems on the Bianchi for a lil refresh. Our other wrenchers learned how to replace the inner tube on a gravel and road bike. Everyone left with new knowledge, a fix-a-flat zine, & a bike map of the local area.

This could be you! Take up space and being your friends.

All ages. All experience levels.

See you soon!
