Join Go By Bike’s Sub List
Go By Bike
Are you interested in bicycles? Do you like interacting with other cyclists? Do you have a fairly open schedule and would like to earn a little extra money?
If your answer to all of these questions is yes, consider joining Go By Bike’s sub list.
Go By Bike hosts North America’s largest bike parking lot. We have parked up to 500 bikes on our lot! Situated in front of Portland Aerial Tram’s lower terminal, we keep a secure lot on which we valet people’s bicycles for free. We also offer repair services and friendly bike chatter.
Go By Bike keeps a very tight crew of regular employees. However, for our operation to work, we rely on subs to fill in whenever one of our regular employees needs to take time off. We often have opportunities for our subs to work with us, but it is very irregular work.
Subs will primarily help valet bikes. Mechanic skills are not required, but they are appreciated. We do require our subs to be fully vaccinated and boosted against COVID and everyone has to wear a mask while at Go By Bike.
Subs are paid $17 to $19 per hour, depending on their experience and mechanic skills. If you are interested in joining our sub list, contact Molly at gobybikeshop@gmail.com. We will then set up a time for you to come by and get trained.
Happy Riding!
email Molly at gobybikeshop@gmail.com with a paragraph on what interests you about helping out at Go By Bike.
Portland Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty has opened up a survey that asks her supporters how she should prioritize her efforts in 2022. Among the eight options to choose from are, “Climate Change and Reducing Harmful Carbon Emissions” and “Transportation and Pedestrian/Bike Safety.”
While those two seem to have the most direct implications for readers of this site, all of them have a major impact on the experience of anyone biking around the city.
The survey (which is a campaign tool and requires respondents to share an email address) also includes a list of achievements and then asks which of them she should “protect and expand”. Transportation policy items on the list include: “Daylighting 300+ Street Corners”, “Transformation of 82nd Ave”, and “Implement Pricing Options for Equitable Mobility”. We covered Hardesty’s daylighting investment back in November. The “transformation” of 82nd she references has to do with the $80 million in funding granted to the City of Portland to upgrade the arterial and take over ownership from the Oregon Department of Transportation. The other transportation accomplishment she mentions is POEM, the Portland Bureau of Transportation’s set of recommendations aimed at making driving more expensive that was adopted by City Council last fall.
And just like her list of priorities, all of the achievements listed by Commissioner Hardesty — policing, public health, denser housing, energy grants — have strong connections to bicycling and mobility.
