San Diego Bike Union Mid-Town Holiday Lights Tour

the san diego bike union is having a ride coming up. heres what they have to say about it:

	Join the Bike Union for a tour of San Diego's mid-town (or uptown, if you like) neighborhood holiday lights. Velo Cult Bike Shop is hosting a pre-ride social @ 6:00pm at which they will be debuting their new line of speciality coffees (and there will be cocoa for those who are already too high-strung). Decorate your bike, bring your lights, don't forget the camera, and enjoy a casual, conversational social ride to admire the handiwork of folks with electric bills larger than yours!

350 bike ride recap!

today was the second and final 350 bike ride. the first ride yesterday at the farmers market was fun and relaxed. a small turnout for the ride (at least of people who showed up on time) but plenty of extra people came by to say hi and work on their bikes. everybody got free totes and an exclusive bike zine put together by myself (ken), holly from sdsu, and fernanda of irc infamy.

the ride today starting at ward canyon park had a decent turnout of young college kids and a handful of old bike guys. we started off around 1:30, met up with a protest at a local valero over prop 23, and went down park blvd ending at pokez. if you werent there you missed out.

pictures will hopefully be up soon, and keep posted for the next ride: nov 13!

350 bike flier

thanks to fernanda (market manager at irc) for putting together most of this flier

SD bike union's picnic + the really really free market

ok, so two big things happening at the same place at the same time! first i'd like to announce the sd bike union's fall picnic, called the bike union because they are dedicated to doing as much as possible by bike. thanks to ted, one of our newer bikes del pueblo associates, for sharing this and inviting us. i believe that we will be out with some tools hopefully and ready to share some skills.

going on mere feet away will be the really really free market! the best place to come get something you can use for free and leave something you dont need anymore for somebody else.

i hope to see you all out there! and just a reminder: october 9th and 10th are the bike rides against climate change. what a busy two weeks!

350 bike rides against climate change!

put this in your planner: october 9th and 10th bikes del pueblo along with the IRC and some friends are putting together group rides to raise awareness of climate change. the rides are part of the 350 campaign, and will be coinciding with actions taken all over the world. the first ride on october 9th will be at 10am starting at the city heights farmers market and will be a slow paced tour of the neighborhood. the next ride will start around 1pm at ward canyon park on adams ave and will be around 7 or 10 miles, depending on how everybody feels, and will go around the mid-city area and end at toronado in north park. below is an unfinished flier, a finished one will be up shortly

hope to see you all out there!

also this friday is paseo de todo in tijuana and as usual bikes del pueblo is always looking for new members to join in and help share skills and resources within the community

september updated flier + news

Also new: BDP is planning two bike rides during October for 350 day to spread awareness of global climate change and hopefully encourage more direct action against it. Meetings are going to be held every Friday during the evening at the Snowdrop house for the next four weeks to get this all together.

ride this saturday from market!

fantastic news: even though Bikes Del Pueblo will not be setting up this week to help with bikes the amazing Tina Angeles will be leading a ride from the farmer's market! the route is yet to be determined but i am sure it will be great.


if you go to the ride, please buy Tina a tea and muffin for stepping up

new updated flier, closed next two weeks

bikes del pueblo will not be at the city heights farmers market the next two weeks, 8/14 and 8/21. but we will be back right after. the monthly bike rides should resume every second saturday (10 am @ chfm) hopefully this october. our next group ride event should be in october as well.
