Hello Fellow Cyclists!
Spring is PACKED with major bicycling events
& initiatives that I want to let you know about. Get
involved! It promises to be a wild ride! :)
1) Columbus' first Bike to Work Week
(B2WW) May 12-16 is packed with city-wide events, a
Commuter Challenge, and a Monday morning launch with the
Mayor on the Statehouse lawn.
Visit
www.considerbiking.org to learn more and get involved!
2) B2WW closes on Saturday with Bike+Art=Show,
an arts and crafts show to celebrate the bicycle and the
bicyling lifestyle.
To participate, register online at
www.considerbiking.org!
3) Bicycling Magazine\'s BIKETOWN is
officially coming to Columbus!
BIKETOWN provides free bikes to people who don't have one,
and tracks the recipients for a year to see how their lives
have changed. Anyone who would like to apply for a free bike
can enter the essay contest at
http://www.bicycling.com/biketown/essay.html. The Mayor
will award the bikes to their recipients on May 22.
4) A Consider Biking Membership Meeting has
been scheduled for Tuesday, May 27 @ 7pm. Come out to meet
the board, socialize with friends, and provide input into
what you'd like to see from our organization going forward!
Location TBD.
As always, you can learn about these events
and more at
http://www.considerbiking.org.
See you around,
Meredith
ps -- Please forward this far and wide!
