What is a “Thaco Thursday Tour” and what’s it all about?

Well, “Taco Tuesday” was already taken and “Waco Wednesday” didn’t sound good, nor did most other days, so “Thaco Thursday” was the only logical choice!

Is your company looking for a team-building activity? A chance to volunteer together? A way of giving back while having fun and learning new skills?

The Bicycle Exchange has the experience and volunteer support to host a limited number of weekday volunteer events for employees who want to share the experience of giving back to the community.

If you and up to 25 of your co-workers (15 during the pandemic) are interested in bonding outside of work around bicycle repair stands amid bikes, parts and tools, this might be for you. Our corporate events are structured nearly identically to our Saturday volunteer events, except that they typically involve smaller numbers of people. If you are interested, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Some helpful tips on how our corporate team-building volunteer opportunities work: 

• There is a suggested donation of $50 per corporate volunteer. This helps cover the parts we use to repair bikes.
• We prefer at least two months advanced notice with several proposed date options so that we can find dates that work for volunteer event leaders.
• Volunteers will need to bring lunch or have food delivered.
• Friends and family of employees are welcome.
• We run skill-sharing events where we learn from each other. We'll provide as many mentors as we can; and, events will be most effective if some of your co-workers are mechanically skilled and are interested in sharing their skills as well.
