Happy Earth Day!
Just in time for the busy Earth Day and bike-to-work advocacy season, we set up our Fender Blender to be easily towed to events behind another bike. Now clients won’t have to throw it in an SUV if they’d rather bike it to their event.
Wednesday Night Lights (The “Last Wednesday of the Month” Rochester Bike Cruise)
On April 30th, meet us at Dogtown Hots a little after 7PM for veggie/vegan or meat hot dogs and pie.
Or, if you want to skip the grub, catch up with us at 8PM outside of Dog Town – that’s at 691 Monroe Ave.
From there we head out on our bikes, into the fine city of Rochester. Our only agenda is to have fun! And, of course, sport your Down Low Glow if you’ve got one.
All are welcome. See you out there! (In case of serious rain, cruise will be rescheduled to the following week)
