Event Support: Saturday 10.2 basic bike mechanic knowledge a plus

New York City NY

Description

Bike to the Beach (B2B) for autism is looking for an individual to assist with event support (basic bike mechanic skills preferred) to assist with our 100-mile charity event from Manhattan to Quogue, NY. B2B's mission is to increase awareness for autism through Autism Speaks while inspiring achievement and personal empowerment through the strength of teamwork. While having your own reliable transportation is preferred, we will provide transportation if you do not have a car of your own. We will leave the starting line at 5 AM, and our event support/mechanics will ride along the route in chase cars to support our riders with any bike issues that they have. The most common issue is flat tires, so those who know how to assist with basic bike maintenance are encouraged to help with this great event. We could also use some seasoned bike mechanics who can fix more advanced issues, such as broken chains, gear issues, etc. We are prepared to pay $15-20.00 per hour for event staff to help out the day of the ride. The event starts at 5 AM and will end around 5 PM on Saturday, October 2nd; however, the route is long enough that we can be flexible with your start and finish time. For example, one could start at 5 AM and leave at 10 AM or start at 9 AM and leave at 4 PM. Our B2B New York Century Ride is a total of 100.27 miles. Riders will leave from lower Manhattan, cross the iconic Brooklyn Bridge, to the Rockaways. Once on Long Island, the ride takes you along the shore and through small towns, before finishing at the Beach in East Quogue.
