Friends,
Things are hectic right now. The news (and response) is changing daily, and we’re all striving to do what we can to limit the spread of COVID-19.
As such, we have a few new rules and procedures that will be in place through April 30, 2020. At that time we will re-evaluate and extend the date if necessary.
- The Bike Walk Savannah offices are closed to the public through April 30, 2020.
- We will not be accepting donations of bikes, parts or accessories through April 30, 2020. If you find some items to donate while cleaning (I get it!) please hold onto them until that date, or email info@bikewalksavannah.org to figure out a solution. Please do not leave any bikes at our office.
- We will be working behind the scenes to continue refurbishing bikes from our existing stock for clients. If you are a current New Standard Cycles volunteer, we will be in touch, or please email Henry at bikes@bikewalksavannah.org with any questions.
- Fix Your Own Bike Night for March and April have been canceled.
- We will not be completing any walk up services or assistance at this time. If you have an immediate need, please contact your case manager to schedule an appointment or contact Henry at bikes@bikewalksavannah.org.
A majority of our events on the calendar for the remainder of March and April have been canceled. Like many businesses and organizations in Savannah, this means we are going to take a hit this year. If you have the means to give, please help us out at bikewalksavannah.org/donate.
We are working on fun new virtual events and programming, so make sure to stay tuned! And we always recommend checking out bikewalksavannah.org/routes for a fun new bike ride. Have suggestions you’d like us to add? Send me an email at caila@bikewalksavannah.org.
And as our streets clear of moving vehicles, please remember that they are not clear of everything — people are biking, walking, and connecting in their neighborhoods as best they can. Please slow down and be aware of your surroundings. We do not want to be adding to the number of people who need assistance at our hospitals.
If you have any questions or need immediate assistance, please email me at caila@bikewalksavannah.org or give me a call at 912-228-3096. I’ll do my best to get back to you as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Caila Brown
