Bicycle Coalition Volunteer Night This Wednesday

He's got 200 business cards printed in his own ink!
Okay, that's a little gross...

Volunteer night returns March 13th! It was shifted back by one week on account of the National Bike Summit down in D.C.

Oliver remains down in D.C. for the yearly Mollusk Bike Advocates International networking event. But we're back in Philly, ready to talk bicycling advocacy and the many events and activities coming up this spring!

Want To Help Us With Street Outreach And Events? Attend Wednesday's Training Session

Have you heard? Volunteering is the new Found Your Own Dot Com. Which itself was the new Be A Roadie For A Jam Band. Which in turn was the new Start In The Mail Room And Work Your Way Up. Which supplanted the Start Your Own Railroad. Which (we're told) was the new Marry Into Royalty And Get Yourself Some Serfs.

Anyhow, the point is that volunteering is a great way to build skills, meet new people, and make your community better. We'll be at some exciting events this summer (ex. the Kensington Sculpture Derby) and we're looking for volunteers to help us man tables and conduct street outreach.

You don't need a skeletal system to love bicycling

This Wednesday, we are holding an outreach training session for new and existing volunteers. If you'd like to volunteer at one of our events this summer, attend this training!

We will cover what's involved in helping the Bicycle Coalition with outreach events, and you'll have a chance to sign up for upcoming events.

Date: Wednesday, April 4th
Time: 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Location:
Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia
1500 Walnut Street
Suite 305
Philadelphia, PA 19102

Want To Bike In The City But Nervous About It? Urban Riding Classes To The Rescue!

Consider the octopus. A smart, muscular animal comfortable in its domain. Now consider the octopus interested in biking through Philadelphia. Ambitious, it dons a bike helmet. Suddenly, the presence of the helmet makes the rest of its hitherto invincible body seem exposed. Doubt creeps in. 

Nervous about encountering cars and Orca whales on fixies

Do you feel like an octopus with a bike helmet? Are you interested in biking through Philly but concerned about navigating traffic, soiling your work clothes, or getting home in time to feed your 80,000 unhatched broodlings?

Then you should take our Urban Riding Basics class!
