Please email me at volunteer@5bbc.org if you can help out at any of the above times. Please include “Summer Streets” in the subject line of your email. Let me know which day, time, which location, and what you are volunteering for. Let me know if you can pump tires. If you are volunteering as a mechanic, let me know whether you can fix flats, adjust brakes and brake cables, and adjust derailleurs, gears and chains. Thanks.

As you may know, on Summer Streets days, streets will be car-free from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and open to walkers, runners, bicyclists, bladers, and scooters. The Club will have a repair tent where we repair bikes (members' and non members') for free.
