Buddies -
Unfortunately, with our departure from Bike Clark County (BCC), the VBC Cyclist Closet will officially be closing at the end of this week.
The info we have from BCC employees is that VBC members drop things off, but few people were "shopping" from the closet. The last few times I looked at the closet, there were bikes or boxes stacked in front of it making access difficult.
If you want to retrieve items you've previously donated to the Closet, or go shopping one final time, please do so this week! The BCC Bike Shop is open Wednesday thru Saturday from 11am until 6pm. You can ask any employee to point you to the VBC Cyclist Closet if you're not familiar with it.
At the end of the week, any remaining contents of the Cyclist Closet will be donated to Bike Clark County where they will be merged with the BCC free gear rack. In the future, we recommend donating anything you would have previously placed in the Cyclist Closet directly to BCC.
Peter Van Tilburg of BCC wanted me to encourage everyone to check out the BCC free rack! They've recently reorganized the free rack and everything is now sorted by gender and size. Pete specifically mentioned that they have tons of free road and MTB bike shoes; so many that they're overflowing into the BCC basement.
