RubarBikes Committee: New!
RUBARB is a bike shop in New Orleans that operates in a similar fashion to Recycle a Bike in New York. They teach residents of the lower ninth ward how to fix their own bikes. They are in constant need of supplies and tools. We are planning many bike rides where we go to shops here in the city and ask them to donate tool and parts to the shop. We are also planning benefits to get money to send to RUBARB. We would like to be an NY2NO committee because then we think more people will know about us and we can get more people to come to our meetings. It would get a whole new community of kids (bikers) interested in going down to New Orleans with NY2NO. We meet on Thursdays at 5pm at 35 Hudson Street (Lorenzo's House) Apt 5F. Take the C train to Canal.
