	~~Something about our history~~.		In 2008, the Bike Root opened in a disused loading dock in the centre of campus. A fully outfitted bicycle lending library was opened soon thereafter.
			In the summer of 2010, the Bike Root lost the use of their space on campus. The shop was briefly run out of a shipping container on the edge of campus.
			Sometime thereafter, the entire bicycle library (and bike stock) was stolen from Campus.
			In 20(??), the Bike Root reopened in the Arts Parkade loading dock one or two days a week and in 2016, the shop hours were expanded by the new board to 5 days a week. The Bike Root maintains open hours 5 days a week as of May, 2016.

	The Bike Root does not regularly offer mobile repair, but often is asked to attend events and demonstrate how to repair attendees bikes. This is usually done in a [[hands-on repair\|hands on]] fashion, unless the attendee states that they have the competency to use the tools at hand.

	Since the summer of 2010, the Bike Root has been offering a regular bicycle valet service to our local farmers' market in [[wikipedia:Hillhurst, Calgary\|Hillhurst-Sunnyside]]. Normally two volunteers are at hand to serve those with bikes entering the market. The service is by donation and normally brings in approximately $20-$30 a week.

	~~Currently two handmade sandwich boards are used to support two steel tubes, supported on the opposite side by a chain link fence. The sandwich boards are made from a frame build by 1x4s~~ and ~~covered by plywood. Eventually we will paint the sandwich boards to reflect who we are and the service offered~~. Normally a tent is erected to shelter the volunteers from the sun or rain and the area is roped off to discourage people from entering.		We own 3 portable and collapsible high quality aluminium bike racks. Normally a tent is erected to shelter the volunteers from the sun or rain and the area is roped off to discourage people from entering.

	A tagging system is used to mark the bikes. Large tags or varying colours and with varying images were made in duplicate, laminated and small clips were attached to each. The volunteer will take the client's bike, clip a tag to the bike and give the client the duplicate. The system work much in the same way as does a coat check.
