Old Business:
The Stripper Station is all ready to roll, Thanks Will!, appropriate tools are labeled in yellow on the “strip bin” near the back of the shop.
If you want to tag a bike with a red tag indicated to strip, PLEASE put as many details as possible on the bikes.
Please make sure to also try and tag yellow tags with as much info you can.
Let’s start dating and initialing incoming bikes to try and keep track a little better of bikes that are not being bought
Christmas town – Looking for children’s bikes, bikes that need some work and other children bicycle accessories. Please label accordingly. Courtney will pick up bikes because they have a lot of storage! Kids bikes from ages 5-18 years. Tentative plan is to give them from Thanksgiving to Christmas. Ideally bikes that retail (OTC standards) $80 or below.
New Business:
UAA Bike Club – There’s interest in starting a new bicycle club back at UAA. Lots of students don’t have access to bikes but have interest but no resources. – Talked about old uaa bike club stuff. – Looking for more of an advocacy group – more bike racks, accessible routes, safety.
-Bike-Angel – A mentorship with more experienced riders with less experienced riders. Helping with even the smallest things like where to get a fender or nice rain jacket to buy / borrow.

BUILD UP BIKES – First priority! Please and thank you.
Mountain Bike Summit 10/6 & 10/7 Alaska Trails is throwing this for mainly trail construction, rides and community. Registration is online. Opportunity to advertise, Kyle is on it.
Build-a-bike-program – Holly / Kyle are going to head this.
LEMON BIKES – When bikes keep returning that were previously purchased at OTC. Maybe being a little easier on trading if needed.
