SLC Bicycle Collective Metal Shop needs to be a community effort to survive.

The SLCBC Metal Shop

is an idea that will bring more bicycles, more interest and teach cyclists brand new skills in welding and metal modification in relation to cycling never possible on such a grand scale in the Salt Lake City Community.

However, it will die, without support.

While donations are welcome, contributions of welding supplies or even great discounts will be the determining factor as to whether the SLCBC Metal Shop opens its doors on the west back side of the SLC Bicycle Collective. (two garage door bay areas dedicated for Metal Shop)

View the SLCBC Metal Shop Purchase List here:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pBriDstA-rW7D7Pugk5T7bg


Two main needs: WELDING SUPPLIES and a SEPARATOR WALL 10 feet high, 12 feet long for the welding area made out of cheap materials. (If you know how to make a cheap up to code wall, please contact me ASAP.)

The final need is to get a quote on electricity to the backroom. But lets worry about the two main needs first.

Initially, I believed we could open in November. That seems too close, but I do want to open the doors THIS winter. However, I can not do this on my own, nor do I want to open this shop with my efforts alone. The bicycle collective has not survived by the efforts of one individual, and the SLCBC Metal Shop will not only survive on my will alone.

We need leaders for this project. Organizers. I am stepping up to the position of organizer, but others are needed. We need to have regular meetings. We need to have goals. We need community support. If you are interested we can hold our first meeting this coming Monday, and further clean the shop.

A wiki site for the SLCBC Metal Shop has been added here:
http://slcbcmetalshop.wetpaint.com/

I want more support and organization before we go the Mailing Lists and ask for help from the SLC Bicycle Collective, so please join me in efforts to make this more official and our dream. Start by introducing yourself and your skills:

Let me know you are interested.

best regards,

What is SaltCycle Live?

SaltCycle Live is now on saltcycle.com.

SaltCycle Live is a Flickr account that slc bicycle related cellphone pictures are sent to a specific email address and they get posted directly to saltcycle.com as a badge of photos akin to the Saltcycle Pool, but with less work involved and more 'live'.

Only contributers can contribute content to it, and so far it is only me contributing content.  However, look for others contributing content in the future.

Comments, concerns, questions?  Leave them here.

Thank You SLC.

Rev Phil & the Portland Crew are gone and Salt Lake City is left once again to raise the top bar a bit higher.  The introduction of tall bike jousting, the u-bomb running again, creating and submitting new material for Bike Porn Tour 3 - we have a lot to work on, to create to make this city the Great Salt Lake cycling community it is destined to become.

Thank you to all the contributors, organizers and hosts for Bike Porn 2.

Ride on.
