Bike Pgh ever run a blood drive?

Just curious if BikePgh has ever run a blood drive. I donated today and thought it would be really cool if when they asked you who you were donating for, BikePgh was an option.

I rode 13 miles after donating. Aint no thang. Didn't do any intervals, though.

last time I checked there is a waiting period for giving blood after tattoos and piercings. seems the cyclists I know are all tattooed.


nothing wrong with that I am tattooed as well. just something to think about.


i try and give blood just before I get inked

Heh, maybe the tie fighters are less likely to have tattoos?


I for one am tat-less

Could be true. I did not mean to cast judgment. I hope it wasn't taken that way.

I met a tat-less dude in college once. I think.

I have enough scars, scuffs, and other marks from various run-ins with roads, inanimate objects, and orthopedic surgeons, and every one has a story. Those are my tats.

I have enough kitchen battle scars to where I think it'd be neat to trace around the outside of them to make pictures.


But to be sort of on topic, giving blood scares me for some reason.

I also like to donate blood, and used to alot, but cant now because 1 yr waiting period after ink. I think a Bike-pgh blood drive would be awesome.

I saw that pic of the rig with the tacoed wheel @ Swinburne and read the descriptions of how the cyclist lost a lot of blood. Would hope someone would consider donating if I got hit.
