What could be a better way to complete your community service requirements than by spending time in the sitting in the shade at Musikfest, watching over bicycles locked to racks, while listening to good music? Okay, its a little more complicated than that, but not by much: asking cyclists to sign-in, asking them to join the organization, and answering some basic questions about musikfest, or referring them to Musikfest information tent, and and calling the police in an emergency (hasn't happened yet!) Shifts are 2 hours a piece. Sign up with a friend!

For more information about this opportunity, please all Scott Slingerland from the CAT, Coalition for Appropriate Transportation at
