Message from Anna and Matt: Workshop on Breaks from the Bike Dump and the Bike Cage

SO everyone there is a workshop on brakes this weds the 19th here is the info:
Hello,

This Wednesday, August 19th, 7-9pm, the Bike Dump is hosting a hands-on workshop on how to repair common problems with side- and centre-pull brakes (the kind of brakes on most road, hybrid and cruiser bikes).

On Wednesday, Augsut 26th, 7-9pm, there will be another brake workshop. This one will focus on cantilever and linear-pull or "v" brakes (the kind of brakes on most mountain bikes and newer hybrid bikes).

These workshops are open to everyone, regardless of skill level.

Hope to see you there,

Matt G.

Solar Pannels in Courier Bags?

From Core 77 website.. "a collaboration between SF-based bagmaker Timbuk2, and the non-profit Portable Light. Introduced at last year's Pop!Tech conference, FLAP (Flexible Light And Power) is an experiment incorporating solar panels into a typically sized messenger bag, allowing it to charge electronics via an integrated USB cable."
