Apparently Bikerowave is part of this collaborative, so it would be cool if there were a Bikerowaver that needed a part-time gig.
Not huge $, but a pretty sweet job.

The LA County Bike Acquisition Wrangler is a new program, funded for 2 years, to encourage cycling by helping make bikes available at reduced prices. The Wrangler will work to obtain and distribute recovered and donated bikes. In addition, the Wrangler outreaches for the LA County Cycling Collaborative (CCC) – a collaborative of 6 L.A. bike groups: Bicycle Kitchen, Bike Oven, BikeRoWave, C.I.C.L.E., LACBC and Valley Bikery.
The Wrangler will pursue sources of bikes from police departments, Metro, colleges and universities, individual donors, bike industry and other possible sources of used/donated/recovered bikes. These bikes would be picked up (via truck) and triaged by the Wrangler and provided to programs of the six CCC organizations. Through working with various groups and individuals, the Wrangler will raise awareness of the CCC groups and their missions including encouraging and empowering bicyclists throughout L.A. County.
The CCC’s Wrangler will work for and report directly to the LACBC. The Wrangler will work closely with the CCC’s four cooperative bike repair spaces making appropriate recovered/donated bikes available to each. The Wrangler will also work with C.I.C.L.E. to coordinate bike distribution through workshops taught in communities across L.A. County.
This is a part-time (3 days/week, 60% FTE) position, currently funded for two years through Spring 2012. LACBC is interested in raising additional funding for the program, but continued funding is not guaranteed.
Salary Range: $18,000-$21,000 annually (plus some benefits)
