1508171_10152088992574001_2422456890925766918_nThe Record Exchange is honored to be hosting a display of one of 24 bikes that Boise Bicycle Project is donating during their 24 Bikes to 24 Kids in 24 Hours fund drive for Idaho Gives!

From midnight to midnight on May 1, BBP’s Jimmy Hallyburton and Cass Jones will be attempting to donate 24 Bikes to 24 Kids in 24 Hours. The Record Exchange is excited to help power their journey by holding a dream bicycle at our store. Each time BBP reaches a donation milestone, in increments of 25, Jimmy and Cass will hit the road and deliver another bike, along with a new helmet and safety instructions, to the next child’s doorstep. We’re powering their journey and you can too by prescheduling your $10 or more donations now, or donating on May 1!

Donations received during the 2014 Idaho Gives event will be used to jumpstart Boise Bicycle Project’s brand new Bicycle Mechanic Apprenticeship Program (B-MAP).

B-MAP will provide a well-rounded education to at-risk teens in the Treasure Valley; teaching them the essential skills needed to become an entry level bicycle mechanic along with other vocational proficiencies.

This 8-week course is intended for youth ages 14-18 and will teach vital mechanic skills like wheel truing, changing flats, chain, hub, brake, derailleur and headset adjustments and brand new (out-of-the-box) bike builds. B-MAP students will also have assistance creating a resume, applying for a job and will participate in mock interviews. Graduates will receive a certificate of completion.

ABOUT BOISE BICYCLE PROJECT

In October of 2007, two hotshot firefighters put their axes and chainsaws down and began repairing and donating used bikes to under privileged kids. They dreamed of creating a cooperative workspace that made bicycle education and quality-recycled bicycles available to the entire community.

Six years later, BBP has donated over 8,000 bicycles to the Treasure Valley, while teaching countless members of the community about bicycle repair and safety. BBP has grown into a fully functional bicycle cooperative with services to offer every demographic. It has truly been a dream come true, and the impact on Boise can be seen with recycled bicycles gracing the streets everywhere you look.

At Boise Bicycle Project we rebuild bikes to build better lives. Please join the ride and give today.

FIRST THURSDAY AT THE RX: LAUNCH PARTY FOR ANTI-MEGALOADS BOOK, PLUS HILLFOLK NOIR LIVE AND FREE PAYETTE BREWING CO. BEER!

April 2, 2014 - The Record Exchange Blog - by - No Comments

Goliath-Staggered-cover-4-800x390The Record Exchange (1105 W. Idaho St. Boise) is honored to be hosting a launch party for Steve Bunk’s anti-megaloads book “Goliath Staggered: How the People of Highway 12 Conquered Big Oil” at 6 p.m. First Thursday, April 3. The event will feature a presentation by Bunk, live music by Hillfolk Noir and free beer (21 and older with valid I.D.) courtesy of Payette Brewing Co. As always, this Record Exchange event is free and all ages.

Festivities start at 6 p.m. with a set by Hillfolk Noir on The Record Exchange stage, followed by remarks from Bunk on the significance of the grassroots resistance to the megaloads, and ending with another set by the band. The book will be available for purchase at the event and Bunk will sign copies.

“Goliath Staggered” follows the rise, growth, and triumph of the people’s movement to prevent major oil companies from transforming Highway 12’s federally protected Wild and Scenic River corridor through northern Idaho from transformation into a high-and-wide industrial thoroughfare. The battle, which raged in meeting halls, on the streets, in the media, and the courts from spring 2010 until autumn 2013, forced Big Oil to find another route for giant infrastructural equipment bound for the tar sands of Alberta, Canada.

The people’s victory, which was far from assured until a federal court ruled in their favor, became an inspiration for the current national grassroots movement against the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline, which would carry crude oil from the tar sands through six states to the Gulf of Mexico for refining.

Bunk, who reported for New West on the saga as it unfolded, and whose book has been warmly received by prominent conservationists, will talk about the importance of grassroots movements to slowing the rate at which carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels enters the atmosphere, imperiling the health of the planet.

“Goliath Staggered,” which will be available April 3 in paperback and eBook, is the initial release from New West Books. More information on the book can be found at newwestbooks.com.
