Spin Coins for the Climate Strike!
by Jonathan Rosenbaum via PositiveSpin 13 Sep '19

13 Sep '19

Make it your objective during the Climate Strike from September 20th - 27th to ride your bike as much as possible in place of using fossil fuel powered vehicles. You may earn 16 Spin Coins (worth $16) for each friend you bring into our shop who purchases a bike from us on September 24! Earned Spin Coins may be used in place of cash to earn one used bike and used parts until December 31. Thank-you, for any efforts you take to inspire your friends to ride their bikes more often! * Spin Coins coined by two of our kid volunteers - Audrey and Harold! * Positive Spin is a co-sponsor for WV Climate Action - https://www.wvclimateaction.org/ Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transportation account for about 29 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, making it the largest contributor of U.S. GHG emissions, more that the electric power sector. https://www.epa.gov/transportation-air-pollution-and-climate-change/carbon-…

Thursday Opening! Special for NICA Kids - 20% off bikes!
by Jonathan Rosenbaum via PositiveSpin 05 Aug '19

05 Aug '19

On August 8, 5pm - 10pm, the Morgantown Trail Hawks of the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) are holding a fundraiser at the downtown Black Bears Burritos to benefit youth mountain biking. Since Positive Spin is only 200 ft away from the event we ARE offering bikes for 20% off the regular price to registered members (middle school to high school) of the program! We have an amazing selection of 26" refurbished bikes from Specialized, Trek and Giant. This is an excellent opportunity to pickup your first or second bike for off-road training, or a nice road bike to cross-train with. Additionally, you can learn more about how to earn service credit hours by participating in our awesome volunteer program.

Saturday Kids Day Opening!
by Jonathan Rosenbaum via PositiveSpin 18 Jul '19

18 Jul '19

Positive Spin will be open this Saturday (July 20) from 10am - 2pm during Morgantown's famous MedExpress Kids Day 2019. Since our new shop location is right around the corner from the event, we decided to operate out of the comfort of our air-conditioned facility. All mass retailer kids' bikes are reduced to $10 for kids 10 years or younger for this special day! Directions: One of the easiest ways to visit us from High Street is to walk down Chancery Row (the alley street by the Monongalia County Courthouse) to University Avenue, then take a left. Positive Spin is located by the Salvation Army Thrift Store. Alternatively, you may walk down Pleasant Street to University Avenue, and then take a quick right.

On Monday we will be moving our large furniture - free-standing shelves, toolboxes, etc. McDaniel Towing, who has been so helpful over the years with our larger moving projects (including our 2017 relocation), will be providing a flatbed. We need a few extra folks to help load and unload. If you are available on Monday @ 5pm, please confirm with me at info(a)positivespin.org. Thank-you. -Jonathan
