Celebrate and support all the volunteer bike mechanics and the amazing work our volunteers are accomplishing! http://times-up.org/gallery/full/1399.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3584/3299029420_50eedbc011.jpg Music, Food, and Tours of the New Space! For over 20 years, Time's Up! Environmental Group has been working on environmental awareness and increasing non-polluting transportation. We are happy to report that both are on a continuous rise in New York City thanks to your support. Our wide range of different types of group rides have helped attract thousands of new bicyclists which has encouraged others to ride and become every day commuters. This increase in ridership has also put pressure on the city to increase infrastructure- which we are now seeing. Now that we have all these new riders it's also important that Time's Up! supports them with a place they can go to learn how to maintain and fix their bikes and also with the opportunity to bring their bikes- so they can work on them themselves and become more self-sufficient while also learning about community building, volunteering, and the bigger picture. The new Time's Up! Brooklyn location at 99 South 6th Street, conveniently located near the Williamsburg Bridge- the most utilized Bridge by new cyclists. This will be our second location to support this new community of cyclists. The opening party is also a tribute to all our volunteer instructors who have reached their 500th workshop including a women's-only workshop which is taking place consistently every Monday night for close to 4 years. Time's Up! Environmental Organization is 100% volunteer run. Your contributions and volunteer efforts go directly into supporting campaigns, events, and change that you can feel in your lungs and see on the streets. Come on out and support our volunteers. If you can't make the party you can make a donation on our website http://times-up.org/index.php?page=membership-support or mail a donation to Time's Up! at P.O. Box 2030, New York, NY 10009.
