BIKEPGH MESSAGE BOARD ARCHIVE

Flock of Cycles, Pittsburgh Bike Party - Bike Fest extravaganza. Invite your friends, bring your bike, and bring some food. We will bring the fun. We will ride through the city and end with a picnic. Helmets and lights are a must. --What is a Bike Party?-- A Bike Party is a welcoming, family-friendly, all-inclusive, FREE event consisting of a leisurely-paced bicycle ride (complete with music and mechanical support) and ending with a post-ride party. The group pedals through the city at a slow, welcoming pace appropriate for riders of all ages and capabilities. You get a chance to make new friends, learn new routes, and have fun on your bike! --Where?-- We'll meet at Dippy the Dino (on Forbes Ave in Oakland, in front of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, across from the Cathedral of Learning). --When?-- We'll meet at 6pm and leave at 6:30pm. (Won't be off work in time? We'll post the route later so that you can catch up with us along the way.) --How long is the ride?-- Around 10 miles. --What's the route?-- http://connect.garmin.com/course/4489389 --What should I bring?-- Helmets. Lights. A bike to put those lights on. And all your friends! --What happens in the case of rain/snow/zombie apocalypse?-- On the afternoon of the ride, we'll decide whether conditions are safe enough to ride. Look for updates here, on Twitter, and on our website a couple of hours before the start of the ride if things are looking sketchy.
