Did I mention you get a Volunteer CicLAvia shirt if you volunteer? :)

I would love to stand around and sell shirts! Do you have key chains, coffee mugs, and those giant foam hands too? Better yet, we could corral everyone in and sell them water for 4 bucks a bottle.

I'm not so into selling shirts.
I can volunteer to fix a flat or to help with directions. I'l even help direct traffic.
If you asked everyone to volunteer for those things, we could police ourselves and we wouldn't need to have all those cops there that drive really fast on the street even though it's supposed to be closed to all cars. It would cut the costs if it was it all volunteer operation. Permits are ridiculous though.

Selling shirts is only one the volunteer options offered. What we really need are folks on bikes who know the basics in bike repairs as Route Angels. Knowing how to fix flats, change inner tube, adjust loose chains and seats will be a very helpful skill. There will be several first time riders out that day and most of you regardless if you're volunteering or not will be helping out other folks who dont know these basic skills. CicLAvia will be providing Route Angels with inner tubes and patches to help out as much as they can.
And also we are having volunteers assisting at the crossing points where cars are allowed to cross the route to assure everyone is still following traffic direction.
We have those options to cut down those cost but we need volunteers in order for that to happen. One shift is only two hours and at your preferred location.

Good.
I'm signed up. I'm encouraging others to as well.
Can't the Mayor just waive the permit fees and the need for so many cops to be there like they do it in Bogota?

I've done Route Angel duty for the last two CicLAvias - it's good way to help out and still get to ride around and enjoy the event.

@rollers,
I've done route angel duty at the last two CicLAvias too. The first time, I spent a lot of time helping with flats but I also got to ride the route. The second time, there were fewer flats and I got to ride a lot more. I also have a volunteer t-shirt from each ride. I leave with the good feeling that I'm doing something positive about encouraging more people to get on their bikes.
Are you doing route angel again? I'm doing the first shift out of Hollenbeck, hope to see you there.

Everyone should try to get their work or school to publicize Ciclavia by office wide e-mail or other means.

It's been a long time since I posted here, but what does a Bike Valet do?
Noble Experiment10.4.11 - 1:58 pm
reply
A Bike Valet takes bikes and puts them up on rack and giving the owner of the bike a ticket with a number that matches so they can retrieve their bike back. They make sure bikes are being watched for return to their rightful owner.
If you would like to volunteer for bike valet, LACBC is doing bike valet at El Pueblo & Little Tokyo. To sign up for bike valet email martin@la-bike.org or go
Sign-up here!
CicLAvia volunteers will be doing basic bike repairs along the route and assisting at crossing points.
Email me at ciclaviavolunteer@gmail.com if you would like to volunteer as a route angel or at crossing points.
