Recycle-a-Bicycle Volunteer Event

Do you know how to fix a flat? Twelve WTS Young Professionals do! On March 13th, WTS Young Professionals each volunteered for the evening at Recycle-a-Bicycle (now part of Bike New York), an organization that refurbishes old and donated bicycles. Working alongside three of their female mechanics, volunteers identified and patched holes and tears in bicycle tire tubes. They then split up into four groups to work on entire bicycles that would be raffled during the Women's Bike Ride on March 25th. After rinsing the grease off their hands, the team mingled and networked over some beers from the brewery next door.
