The Savannah Bike Cooperative is looking for help preparing its space for a planned opening early next year. The group needs building supplies and people to lend a hand on Dec. 15, beginning at 2 p.m. The co-op is located at the corner of 39th and East Broad streets.

The co-op has a mission statement mentions sustainability specifically:

“The Savannah Bike Cooperative will seek to provide, to the general public of Savannah, affordable bicycles and bicycle education through free bicycle maintenance training, free access to bicycle maintenance parts and tools, as well as local outreach in a effort to promote sustainability, community and bicycle consciousness.”

More information about Saturday’s event and the materials and tools needed, along with minutes from the last couple meetings, can be found on the group’s Web site or by sending e-mail to savannahcoop@gmail.com.
