Bike Redux

Great photo by Briebanofsky, n'est-ce pas?

It’s been a little over a week since the Bike Festival and bike news just keeps rolling in. Unfortunately, even though I’m pedaling as fast as I can, I just can’t seem to keep up with it all. Last Sunday April 5th, for instance, the CSULB Cyclists held a Sustainability Bike Ride from Colorado Lagoon, past Sims Pond and around the Los Cerritos Wetland. The event was co-sponsored by LB Cyclists and Friends of Colorado Lagoon and sounds like a good ride for a good cause. The blog highlights a monthly event as well as many other regularly scheduled opportunities to “ride your ass off,” so grab your helmet and go!

Meanwhile, over at the Art Theater, a Bike-In Movie Night was sponsored by LB Cyclists on April 11, where valet bike parking was available. Missed it! The good news is that there will be at least two more—Saturday May 2nd and Saturday June 6. With any luck, I’ll get a bike light for Mother’s Day and I’ll be all set.

I am a little bit ahead of the curve with this last item. Bike Long Beach is going to sponsor a video contest on the theme “Grab Life by the Handlebars—Bike Long Beach.” The contest begins on April 15 for 4 minutes (or shorter) videos. More details will be posted on the website soon.
