National Day of Climate Action, April 14, 2007

April 11, 2007

As part of “Step It Up 2007”, the largest day of citizen action focusing on global warming in our nation’s history, we will be hosting two bike rides from the shop. The 10 am road ride will leave as normal from MOB, this week being around a 50 mile round trip, and there will also be a a super mellow and fun ride for all sorts of bikes or other human powered vehicles leaving at 10:30. This ride will be approximately 12 miles. These rides are in addition to the MOB Women’s ride. The women’s ride is road oriented this week and will leave the shop at 12 noon. This is a social ride for women who like to ride road bikes. So come on out this Saturday and be a part of this national day of climate action!

Also, this Saturday is “Healthy Kids Day” at Hanes Park across from the shop. Sponsored by the Central YMCA, this event will have many informational outlets for the whole family. Cyclesafe, Winston-Salem’s bicycle safety resource, will be on hand to educate children on proper helmet fitting. They will also have Kids Bell Helmets available for an inexpensive purchase price of $5. As we all know, there is no better activity for kids than going for a bike ride! So come on out and support healthy kids this weekend.
