But before these bikes hit the road, they need a serious scrub. That's where you come in. Each bike takes one to two hours to clean, creating a bottleneck for their small but mighty team of mechanics. Your elbow grease means more time for mechanics to get reliable bikes into the hands of those who need them most. Thursday; 3–6 pm; complimentary; cancel by September 11. Book Club: "Fever in the Heartland" SEPTEMBER 22 Delve into a chilling and essential chapter of American history with Timothy Egan's "Fever in the Heartland," a gripping nonfiction account of the Ku Klux Klan's astonishing rise to power in 1920s Indiana.
