Walk & Bike Month 2008

Boulder's Walk & Bike Month is a month long celebration of walking and biking in Boulder! Join the fun with more than 50 free bike rides, hikes, classes, free bike maintenance days, performances and fun activities. There is something for everyone including kids, seniors, families, people with disabilities and people who just want to get out and enjoy Boulder during the month of June.

And on June 25th- Bike to Work Day- a day of festivities are planned, including free breakfast at over 30 locations, the Egg-Less relay at lunchtime, and the Bike Shorts Film Festival after work. Don't forget to register (it's free at www.DRCOG.org)

Walk & Bike Month is about educating and trying to change behavior in a fun and smart way. It really is not about a day, week or month, it's about committing to reduce our dependency on cars and reaping all the benefits that walking or biking can entail – saving money, getting out to see the community, meeting your neighbors and staying fit. It is also about choosing the best way to get there for each trip. If you are just going less than a mile to the gym or the bank, try taking your bike instead of driving. It will be easier to park and more fun! And remember Boulder has more than 300 miles of award-winning and convenient bike and pedestrian facilities!

Volunteer at CC

Community Cycles is fueled by a small staff and a committed group of volunteers who are making a difference. We receive an average of 75 bikes monthly. These bikes are refurbished and recycled for return to the community. We reach out to businesses, schools, and civic groups in the community, and we advocate for the rights of cyclists of all ages.

To conduct these activities, we need committed volunteers in many areas, such as:

General shop help
Shop facilitators who are willing to come in for three-hour shifts to assist in bicycle workshops and programs
Bicycle mechanics of any skill level
Bicyclists who would like to lead community rides
Event planning
Farmers Market and other outreach
Fundraising
Bicycle collection
Bookkeeping

You will benefit from being part of an organization committed to changing transportation behavior. You will also meet some great, energetic and intelligent members of your community.

If you have court ordered community service you can do your hours at Community Cycles. There is no need to make an appointment or call ahead, just show up during open hours and we'll get you started.

This event has been rescheduled for June 2nd, 6-9p.m.
