Aloha, campaigners. The big event for bike month is the National Bike to Work Day, Friday May 15. This is a day where we welcome all comers into the wonderful realm of commuting by bicycle. Savannah is particularly well suited for this, and hopefully some new faces will join us, elected officials and city staff for the Dump the Pump Bike Convoys. Separate rides will leave simultaneously at 8am from Baldwin Park (Atlantic and 42nd), Habersham Village, and a fresh *NEW* location, Pierpont Circle in Gordonston.
Jittery Joe’s, the ever percolating friends of cycling, will again provide coffee and breakfast treats at Davant Park, the south end of Colonial Cemetery. We will also have some announcements there, including a celebration of Savannah’s newly minted honorable mention status in the Bicycle Friendly Community designations. Please come and join in the fun!

[…] I’m not sure I feel despair for the future of Savannah, but when I see adults riding their bikes to work, I feel a lot better about it. I hope to see plenty tomorrow. […]
I was out there this morning in the rain in Gordonston, but I’m out there every morning. Is this event going to be rescheduled? I would really welcome the opportunity to ride with some other people to work one day.
I was going to be the leader out there, but got held up in the heavy rain, and also trying to coordinate our cancellation (lightning = no organized ride). I rode downtown, too, but it’s only the die-hards like us who will on a day like that. We’ll definitely keep Gordonston in the mix for future convoys, so keep up the good work, and we’ll see you next time!
