Bike to Work Day

There is not much to say other than be ready for two up and coming extreme, Initiative events to cure the wet bum we have all been getting from riding (unless you are the lucky owner of fenders) in the dynamic weathers of Boone. We proudly present, first, a benefit dance party at the BBI shop below the Turchin Center with DJAngo Kill. The details need to be dressed up a little for that, but it is probably going to be a $5 door with a keg of some sorts, and many opportunities to physically express your bike love through your preferred method of getting down. The dance party will be on April 23rd, 10ish. Keep your ears peeled for more specific, competent details.

Second, Friday April 24th is going to be Boone's first annual Bike to Work Day! Officially, National Bike to Work Day is in May (which is a whole month of bike awareness type events), but there is no need to follow the mode of everyone else. In the morning, volunteers will be sitting out under some tents at Tupelo's and also Boone Mall, the part closest to Winkler's Creek Road, and they will be handing out free coffee and donuts to anyone commuting to school or work. After the day and the work week are over, there will be music and food at the Jones House for everyone, starting at 5:30. We'll be holding a raffle for a free bike tune-up from Magic Cycles. Hopefully there will be sunshine to share and enjoy.

Yet! We still need some help! We are still looking for a PA to mic the bands, as well as people to bring some food to the Jones House. Some will be purchased, but we would also like to make this a potluck-esque event. Also, please feel free to save the Bike to Work Day flyer and post it at your water cooler, on your bus, or in your classrooms. If you could help with those, or have other ideas to make the bike festivities grander, email us (bikeboone@gmail.com), or you can call me, Alex, at 757-642-0282.

Also, we might need support staying awake for two days from the dance party to the Jones House.

We will keep you posted!
