Exciting news! The Haddington Shop (230 N. Salford Street, Philadelphia, PA 19139) is opening up for Bike Church on Wednesday nights. Because this is a new venture, we’re going to start with one night a week and hopefully expand to other nights as it gets rolling. The official grand opening date will be Wednesday, April 28th from 6-8:30pm.
But in order to do this, we need a few brave facilitators to staff these Wednesday nights. The shop is located near 60th and Vine. If you’re interested in helping out, come out to a shop training/sign-making session next Wednesday, April 21st at 6:30pm. There will be snacks! And you’ll get to meet Brandon and Mustafa who run the Haddington Shop.
Please email yowei@neighborhoodbikeworks.org if you are interested in helping.
