WE'RE HIRING....Again!

We have an amazing new worker-owner Sonny who has taken on a huge amount of our riding over the last year and officially became a member of our co-op in May. Now we are once again looking for a worker-owner that loves bikes (or wants to develop a love for them) and is interested in being part of or learning more about cooperatives.

While this type of work certainly isn't for the faint of heart...it's actually really fun and yes you can do it. Here are just a few reasons why:

🚴‍♀️One of our founding worker-owners had never had any experience riding bikes on the road..much less hauling 300lbs behind them. Because we have a mentor system and awesome co-worker-owners, that rider has proudly been hauling safely for Spoke Folks since 2020!

🚴‍♀️People are usually shocked when they see the bike and trailer and give lots of thumbs up, kudos, and words of appreciation and encouragement

🚴‍♀️We are working to help make our community a better place with cleaner air and less cars on the road

🚴‍♀️We are moving our bodies and enjoying our beautiful town

🚴‍♀️The slowing down of your transportation can transform even small pieces of your life
