It will be a FUN-AND-NOT-TOO-LONG bike ride & opportunity to get to know one of the many candidates for Democratic Party’s nomination for the 2020 election – Elizabeth Warren at Chicago Town Hall with Elizabeth Warren.

Everyone is welcome to join the ride or join us there! Please RSVP here so we have an approximate head count! Will be leaving the shop at 4 pm sharp!

We will leave the shop at 4 pm and ride to Auditorium Theater downtown to make it on time for a 6:15 pm start.

Note, this does not demonstrate our political support to any particular candidate. This is a purely an educational field trip!

The next time you’re in the shop, you may see a new lovely face around. It’s Laura /ˈlɑu̯rɑ/, our new volunteer and outreach coordinator.

Laura is a person who is driven to learn, motivated to teach, and meticulous in every project she take on. She is excited to join The Recyclery Collective because we share the same vibrant neighborhood, and are creating a wonderful space for collective action and community service. She is excited to meet all of us and start leading extraordinary collaborations with organizations and individuals alike.

Come say hi!

How does a bicycle wheel support 300 times its own weight? What makes the perfect wheel? Join The Recyclery for a seminar and Q&A about wheels, wheelbuilding, and bicycle physics with Bill Mould.

Bill Mould is an expert designer and builder of custom bicycle wheels. He has built over 5,000 wheels of every possible design, and he uses his knowledge of physics and engineering to publish articles and animated videos about bicycle wheels. As a Yale-trained scientist, Bill is a frequent and popular speaker at bicycle symposiums and conventions. He has a unique ability to explain complex scientific and engineering principles so that they can be understood at least at the conceptual level. He is also a member of the ASTM bicycle committee that combines the contributions of industry scientists and engineers to define internationally required safety standards. Bill’s passion is teaching how to build the perfect wheel.
