Summer hours.

Hello biking riders,

This summer, starting on 5/31,we will be open on Fridays from 12-3pm.

BICYCAL

Last day of spring shop hours.

Sup,

Tomorrow will be our last day of open shop for the semester. We will probably be open this summer but somewhat infrequently. So if you would like to sort something out about your bike it might be a good idea to come by tomorrow.

Warmly,

BicyCAL, UC Berkeley’s student run bicycle and razor scooter repair cooperative.

We will be open during RRR week and maintain usual hours.

Shop update.

Hi,

If you have been to the shop recently you’ll have noticed that there is still a shop and that we are still there. We have not heard anything from the campus about having to move out so keep on bringing us your Magnas, Nexts, Roadmasters and GMC Denalis.

Woop woop,

Spring semester shop hours.

Hello you,

This semester we will be open on Mondays from 12-3pm, Wednesdays from 12:30-2pm and Fridays from 12-3pm.

In the coming weeks it is possible that we will be moving locations. If this occurs I/we will post about that here. We will also post the time of our weekly (bi-weekly?) meetings soon. There is also a DeCAL that we are doing.

yours trooly,

Here we go.

Hi world,

As was mentioned last post, the future of our coop is a little uncertain. But we are sure that we’ll be open this Friday from 12-3pm in the usual place (adjacent to the Disabled Student’s Program) to ring in the new semester, year and all of that.

So stop on by if you need a little help with your bike. Or just stop by, we’d be glad to see you.

You should also check back here for future updates on shop hours, a new location (maybe?) and whatever else we deem blogable, bloggable.

Best wishes,

biekceecal.

What’s new?

Hello world,

You may have noticed that our little bike co-op is closed for the winter. If you haven’t noticed, take it from me: we’re closed.

Moreover, we will no longer be operating out of our adorably crappy stairwell. This is because the redevelopment of lower Sproul, commencing like really soon, will begin with an ursine demolishment of our current space. If you don’t know what ursine means and don’t want to look it up like I did, it means that a huge fucking bear is going to annihilate our shop.

We do not know where, if anywhere, we will be relocating. So phone your local congresswoman, occupy the bathrooms in Wheeler and do not cease until the campus forks over a new home for BicyCAL. Unless we broke your bike instead of fixing it, in which case you should just be quiet. Anyways, this should leave at least some of you concerned. Check back here for more information and have a nice holiday.

biek on,

beeceecal

Closed for thanxxxgiving.

Hi everyone,

We will be closed on Thursday and Friday in observance of Thanksgiving.

Here is a picture of a turkey pulling a boy (?) strapped to some sort of cart.

Rain, in and around the shop and a nice bike.

Hi there everyone,

For those of you weather forecast checkers (and also for you people who get the tickle in your elbow when it’s coming) , you know that it is going to rain. Or, at least, you figure it it pretty likely. Rain poses special problems for cyclers, and maybe we’ll have a post about how to do best in the rain but that’s not what I’m getting into now. What I’m getting into now is about the shop. When it rains we will be open down in the ASUC arts breezeway. To get there head down to lower Sproul: it’s the only breezeway down there. If you come looking for us in the normal spot when it is raining you will not find us. And remember: all of this is true only when it is raining. Okay.

Here are a few photos from two Fridays ago when it was not raining. Not the Friday that just happened, the one before that. I think that’s right, at least. Anyways, things were pretty busy and there were only one or two tools on the ground, so pretty good all-around.

The last picture is of a nice 650b conversion I’ve been seeing around campus. Way back when we used to have a ‘bike of the week’ photo type thing, maybe that will be revived. At any rate, it’s a nice bike so I figure I’d post it.
