Chrome Bike: One of our recycled bikes for sale.Over the last few months we've been recreating CBN into a recycling and education space. We've hired on Smokey Dymny to coordinate bike recycling and Do-It-Yourself bike wrenching.

Under Smokey's expert supervision volunteers have been busy fixing up recycled bikes. We have a number of bikes that are ready for sale: come by our space to take a look at what's available. If we don't have what you want build a bike yourself with our help.

We don't carry any new frames, but carry a basic stock of parts, both new and used. Before you use our space read our DIY rates and policy.

We will also try to regularly post our bikes for sale on craigslist so keep an eye there for any great bikes.

The Community Bicycle Network is looking for willing volunteers to help out with the bike valet parking at the Toronto Bike Film Festival. Valet bike parking will be at the Royal for each screening (Fri August 24, 7. Sat August 25, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9).

Please pick a time slot and give us an email or call 416-504-2918. You will receive a free pass to the event plus other swag! I promises to be a fun time!

Please join us for a general meeting of the Community Bicycle Network at 7 p.m. on Monday July 9, at 761 Queen Street West.

At the meeting we will elect new Directors, and discuss a brave new direction for CBN in bicycle promotion and education. We will also address how to encourage CBN members to take on leadership roles.

Background

CBN by-laws dictate that when the number of Directors on the organization's Advisory Board falls below five, a general meeting of the membership and new elections must be held. Because of recent resignations among current Advisory Board members, Board membership has fallen to four.

Join CBN on July 9 and help us meet this challenge head on.

Thank you.

Nominations to fill vacancies on the Community Bicycle Network (CBN) advisory board are open until July 2 for people interested in standing for election at the CBN General Meeting on Monday, July 9, 2007.

CBN is currently looking for enthusiastic people with skills in a variety of areas such as accounting, fundraising, event planning, project management, law and communications.

Individuals who are nominated and agree to stand for election to the CBN Board will be making a commitment to a two-year term. They will agree to attend monthly two- to three-hour Board meetings and to contribute an additional two to three hours per month to a CBN committee, task group or other related volunteer work.
