As you look forward to the weekend, think of how many different ways you can hop on a bike with your Campaign:
Today, Thursday 9/30: Register for the Georgia Bike Summit! Great effort has gone into developing our own “home grown” bicycle summit for Georgia, and it will be in Savannah next Saturday 10/9. Big name sponsors (Trek, SRAM) and top notch speakers will be there. Plus, you can meet our GDOT Bike-Ped coordinator, the new Georgia Bikes Executive Director, and the Director of the Governor’s Office for Highway Safety. The price goes up on Saturday, so register for the Georgia Bike Summit today for only $40 (or $20 for students)!
Tomorrow, Friday 10/1: Free range 2Wheels 2Work — this time with beautiful fall temps (partly cloudy, mid 60’s) — a great time to ride to work! Pick your route to Jittery Joe’s at Ex Libris. Arrive between 8 and 9am to grab a free cup of Jittery Joe’s coffee and hang with your fellow bike people.
Saturday 10/2: MPC is counting bikes from 12-2pm at multiple locations in Chatham County. If you’re volunteering, thank you! If you’re out and see one of our volunteers, give a wave and a ding of your bell. Knowing how many of us are out there is important data to collect for making decisions about new bike facilities.
Sunday 10/3: Picnic in the Park!
- 3pm Bike Valet opens. We’ll be near the bandshell on the Drayton side of the lawn. Look for the racks and the blue SBC banner. We’ll have some cool pink buttons and some delicious treats, so be sure to come by!
- 4pm Pink Savannah Wheelie. Bedecked in our finest pink, we’ll pedal around downtown on a social ride. Bring your family, bring your friends, bring your bike, and by all means, bring your pink!
- The bike valet will remain open until 15 minutes after the concert ends. Please be sure to pick up your bike! We’ll be accepting donations, so please be generous as your contribution goes to our efforts to educate and empower and advocate for Chatham County’s bicyclists.
