We’d like to thank our friends at Kulshan Cycles for donating a gift certificate to our volunteer electrician JD Martin. We at Make.Shift are suckers for bicycles, and we really wanted to show JD how much we appreciate his hard work on our Power Wheel bike generator.

We’d also like to thank Boundary Bay Brewery & Bistro for donating a growler of their fine IPA to volunteer electrician Matthew Renick, whose help has also been instrumental in getting the Power Wheel up and running!.

Thanks!
