Help make cycling a tradition by volunteering at these events!
We are looking for the following people for every tour that we organize. If you know you are going to participate, then why not volunteer?:
- Bike Mechanic Guru (amaze your friends, and impress your neighbors with your super-human skills of fixing a troubled bike) - always preferred. If there is a flat tire, or a dislocated chain, its your time to save the day.
- Tour Guide/Sweeper Squad (a seasoned pro of the urban street scape, or a intermediate level rider with the special skill of keeping the group together, on the route, safe, following all traffic laws, and informed of interesting facts on the tour.) - requires little more than participating in the event itself, and being a good example of proper city cycling.
- Liability and Legal Waiver Sage (assist with waiver sign-in, and ease the minds of fellow organizers and volunteers) - if you already arrive early to events, all you have to do is sign a printed liability waiver form available from detroitbikes@detroitsynergy.org
- If you'd like to help out with any of the activities, please send an email to detroitbikes@detroitsynergy.org, and let us know what special skill you would like to showcase the day of the tour.
