Des Moines Bike Collective Volunteer Handbook

[1]

In General

Our collective works with a structure where volunteers work with a Manager to prepare bikes for sale, gift or recycling. Volunteers are not responsible for opening, closing or any administrative tasks.

Shop Rules

Every Person Using the facility is required to:

• Clean up at the end of a shift
  • Please devote the last 15 minutes of a shift to this,
  • Put all tools back on the peg boards
  • Any parts that could not be installed on the bike you are working on should be placed in a small bag and attached to the bicycle.
  • If possible,please attach a note to the green work order mentioning what is left to be done with the bike you are currently working on.
  • Check your pockets, did you forget about that wrench?
  • All parts that you didn't need for the repair should go back to the part bins.
  • Make sure all lubes, cleaners, degreasers go back on the bike stand.

• Tool Breakage
  • Tools get old and break, that's the way things go
  • Let the Lead Volunteer know so that a new tool can be ordered
• Clean the grease off any parts you didn't use before they go back into the community bins
