Welcome to the temporary blog for the yet-to-be-named Helena Bike Project. This a project that is in the making for the Helena area. The plan is to create a volunteer-run non-profit that will serve the Helena community with bicycle education and provide a venue for other community events. The primary focus of the project will be promoting bicycle riding by providing a space for the opportunity to learn bicycle mechanics and maintenance. The space will also will be utilized for concerts, art shows, and any other artistic expression.

This project will be maintained by volunteers. Events will be decided on, planned, and carried out by volunteers. Obviously this will mean a large group involved from the very beginning. This is not a project for only people who know something about bicycles, this will be much more and will include a diverse collection of viewpoints. If you are interested in jumping in please email me at helenabikeproject@gmail.com and I will keep you informed with brainstorms and planning meetings. Since this will be a collective project any ideas are always welcome.

PS If you have any ideas for a name for this project please let me know. There is a poll in the side bar with a few options, but these are only a start and in no way the only options. I will add some that I receive.
