NC Bike Law

If anyone has stopped by Boone Bike and Touring and checked out the little classified/info table in the corner, you might have seen a postcard with spiffy graphics on it called NCBikeLaw. I'm posting a link to that site, which is an amazing resource about the laws and rights that pertain to cyclist in North Carolina, though you need to check up on local laws (Boone's Helmet Law) to make sure you don't collect tickets.

You can get a free water bottle to contain all of your thirsty needs from the NCBL website as well. Free bottles and free advice! On that note, if anyone was curious about the helmet law on campus, here is what we at BBI learned from the ASU Police: There is a law that states students must wear a helmet on campus or they might be fined, yet that rule only applies to STUDENTS and as such, the campus police do not enforce. They feel it isn't fair that faculty and staff are exempt. For your information...

Absences explained!

Hello internet. I hope the rain isn't ruining your Sunday parade or soaking the back of your shirt too bad from shredding the streets of Boone. The bike shop is quiet, and has been quiet for a while save for the hum of Quint's many electric bicycles. A majority of BBI volunteers went on a fantastical trip from Boone to the Outerbanks for a little more than a week. With tanlines fresh and having taken off our chamoises/ spandex, we return to Boone. Hey, I have a list of things that we'll give you mad respect for if you volunteer.

-Organizing and marking good vs. busted tubes and mountain vs. road tubes
-Designing a BBI shirt to screenprint
-Great ideas for fundraisers
-Tool organization ideas. Places to put all of our nuts, bolts, and whatever.
-Any other ideas?

Good day!
