Last weekend in the Twin Cities, SoS participants and community members came out to donate their time and talent to building the SPOKES Bike Walk Connect Center. Everyone who walked through the door was greeted with a smile, a tour and a paintbrush. In one weekend SPOKES went from white drabby walls to a vibrant place for the community built with love and a steady hand from many supporting community members.

Fun on the Job. Painting the main room of the center.

Everyone hard at work and painting away.

Building work benches for the bike mechanic stands.

Hard work deserves a hearty lunch break. We love our Pizza Luce in MN!

Donated bikes for parts and repair.

Now, a bright and happy space!
