Do we charge for information?   YES

We have very limited funding and only volunteers to help with research queries.

We charge $20 for simple information requests.

If your request will require more extensive research, we will provide an estimate of the time and cost involved and ask for your agreement before we proceed.

Our fee structure, for more extensive research is:

        Hourly rate: $60 (billed in 10 minute increments), for research and writing replies.

To ensure that your question can be answered in a timely fashion, you must include as much information as possible.

  • For bicycles, you must include: Manufacturer; Model; Serial Number; Date of Use; WHeel sizes; and an image
