Two great benefit events happening this week:
On Friday there is a Bicycle Film Night Fundraiser to benefit Times Up!, an advocacy group in NYC. They need to raise a bunch of money for legal fees associated with their battle for cyclists’ rights against the NYPD.
The feature presentation will be “Still We Ride,” a documentary on Critical Mass that I’ve heard is quite good. And by the way, if you’re not concerned about the actions of the NYPD towards cyclists, read this article by Senator Jim Elliot from Montana: “Freedom to Be, Freedom to Ride“.
Then on Sunday, you’d be crazy to miss the annual PUMP Swap Meet. Find great deals on all sorts of biking and outdoor gear (not just MTB stuff!). Proceeds go toward helping PUMP build and maintain trails. $2 gets you in the door and includes a raffle ticket.
I’ll be there with a table so you can stop by, pick up some stickers or a shirt, and just say “hi!”.
