Dust Off Days -- Spring cleaning for your bike
With the weather warming up and Bike Month just around the corner, it's time to get your bike ready to ride! If you recover your bike from the dark corners of your shed, we'll help you dust off the cobwebs and lube the squeak out of that rusty chain. Join us Saturday, April 27 at the Swedish Cultural Center for a spring cleaning, bike tune-up event. This will be the first in a series of Dust Off Days, intended to get your bike rolling again. Trusty volunteer mechanics from Elliot Bay Bicycles, Montlake Bicycle Shop and WRENCH Bicycle Workshop will be on hand to provide up to 20 minutes of FREE labor per bike, plus a diagnosis of those problems which cannot be addressed in the allotted time.
If you haven't yet registered for the 9th annual Bike to Work Breakfast, now's your chance! Registration closes in less than two weeks and you won't want to miss it! We have a fun, inspiring morning planned for you and 1000 friends from the bicycle community, benefitting the Cascade Bicycle Club Education Foundation. Your support of the Cascade Bicycle Club Education Foundation helps us get more people on bikes and fight for safer neighborhoods for our kids. This year's keynote speaker will be Governor Jay Inslee. As a devoted rider, Governor Inslee has first-hand knowledge of the benefits of investments in bicycling and has demonstrated decades of leadership in creating a better community through bicycling.
Can't make it, but still want to make a gift? Donate here. Come to the breakfast to find out who will be featured in our 2013 Three Stories from the Road. |
