Greeter Training Session – April 6th

Posted March 22nd, 2013 in Uncategorized by tom777

Free Ride will be hosting a greeter training session on Saturday April 6 at 11:00 AM.

We will explain how to become a greeter at Free Ride and what the greeter does. (That’s our front desk person in open shop).

Being a greeter at Free Ride is a great way to be active in Pittsburgh’s cycling culture !  Experience as a bike mechanic is not required, enthusiasm about the Free Ride shop is !

The session will be held in our shop off 214 Lexington – part of the Construction Junction Warehouse and should last no more than 40 minutes, ending before lunch.

If you know you want to attend, please send us a ‘general inquiry’ through the ‘contact us’ section of this site titled ‘greeter training’.  Walk-ins are fine, but we will provide training materials to folks who respond in advance.

Happy riding out there!

Hey all. Please keep your eyes open for my black Bridgestone MB-6 with a green brooks saddle. It was stolen from in front of the east end food co-op on 2/7.

Hola community! Blog’s been quiet, so here’s what’s been up meantime:

  1. Free Ride continues to engage the wider community, including local colleges, orgs, and the gub’mt whenever possible
  2. Our governing council membership requirements have evolved (yep, first you need privilege)
  3. Please secure your bicycle when entering our shop; you can share a lock if necessary (check w/greeter)
