Ride to First Friday!
Ride with us to downtown Phoenix to spread the good word about biking and next weekend’s Tour de Fat! We have a bike trailer with a 6ft tall sign advertising the Tour that we’re going to parade around the First Friday event as we hand out advertisements and TBAG propaganda. Join us for the ride to and from PHX or for the whole evening. Wear your TBAG shirt (or buy one from us at the event), bring your bike lights, helmet, and enjoy a Friday night hanging out with Tempe biking folks.
Meet at the corner of 5th and Mill in Tempe at 6pm. We will roll promptly at 6:10 and head north across the Mill bridge. We will take Oak St to downtown because it is a nice safe road. We’ll likely come home on Washington to check out the new bike lanes, but if the construction makes it unsafe we may return via Oak as well.
Rumor has it that the Washington bike lane is completed all the way to downtown! We’ll probably take it both to and from downtown if that’s the case.
Do you guys mind a couple of cruiser bikes joining the ride? Not sure what speed you plan to travel at. Are helmets required or just suggested?
Thank you,
Craig & Jessica Liesegang
We welcome cruiser bikes and anyone else who wants to come. Helmets are recommended, but not required. It would be worth bringing bike lights.
i am hoping to come, but not certain yet. if i do, i might hang out in between some other riders because my blinkie is dead. sad…
