Yeah, I tailor my route on that day to hit up a couple. That wouldn't be
out of my way - I'm just not sure of the logistics of, I guess, watching
over bikes while people tour the space? Liability?
I doubt it's much issue, but, pedantic.

In my experience a lot of people tour different pitstops. The pitstop I've
worked with for the last 4 years is in the North-End and not on any major
commuter routes and we always get people coming miles out of their way to
pop in and have a cinnamon bun :)
I figured being downtown we would get more than enough traffic to make it
worthwhile.

the last few years. Good idea, though!

I'm not sure where you'd host it, or how to work it inside/outside.
Otherwise, interesting idea.

Bike Week is June 14th to 20th this year. I usually host a Pit Stop for
Bike To Work Day (the Friday of this week) at a community centre that I
work with. I was thinking that it might be an excellent outreach
opportunity if we were to host one at SkullSpace instead.
Basically this would entail us setting up a table out on the sidewalk in
front of the space and hanging out for a few hours in the morning to
give
snacks and drinks to commuters who stop by. There may be people who
want a
quick tour of the space as well.
We could make that day a work-from-SkullSpace day too, since we will be
there anyway :)
I will happily fund and take the lead on this project. All we would
need
is one or two other volunteers to be on-hand for the morning commute
period
on June 20th to talk about SkullSpace to anyone who stops by.
Volunteers usually get a Bike To Work Day shirt, and a voucher for a
free
burger *and beer* at the wind-up BBQ at the Forks later that day.
Half-Pints usually brews a special ale for this event.
Let me know if anyone is interested...
