Back to the Burn

We will be hosting a Boulder Recompression Party tomorrow night. Please join us for some live music, food, drink, discussions about art, the Burning Man festival and Community volunteering. We will also have LOTS of costumes for sale that will directly benefit BLAST, which is a local community volunteer organization.

When: Saturday, August 16 (Tomorrow!) 7:00pm until 12:00pm
Where: 4747 Pearl, Boulder, CO (map)

The "Lower East Side" will be busy that night. Our neighbors, the Green Guru, will be having an open house and a fashion show so there will be plenty of fun.

BurnWorks Guerrilla Garden

One of the first beautification projects at our shop was the revitalization of a small garden plot. Years ago one of the tenants had a bridge across the irrigation canal and made "Skid Row" into a beach. We dug up most of the sand in that plot and planted a small organic garden. Here are some pics over the last few months and a modest bounty.

Henry WorkCycles

Great interview with Henry Cutler of Henry WorkCycles. Why would an American with a cushy corporate design job quit and start making cargo bikes in the bike capital of the world? Read about it [here] and [here]

"The primary goal of WorkCycles was thus to demonstrate that there really was a market for modern workbikes, simple commuting bikes and special bicycles to carry children, and to raise awareness of just how great they are in use."
