Bike National Convention
TIME’S UP! is hosting a calendar of events throughout a busy week of rides
that will lead up to the Republican National Convention. The Bike National Convention (BNC) will provide New Yorkers and bike enthusiasts pedaling in from around the country a chance to participate in rides that showcase New York City’s unique environment, and the communities of cyclists who inhabit and support it.Likewise, we will introduce a bicycle workshop for those who came to the City without bikes, but would like to be mobile during the RNC, and would like to work for a bike, get one cheap, or work on their own bike. Some of the best-attended and most enjoyable events from Bike Summer 2003 will be on the calendar, as well as new rides from groups and individuals who take the initiative to propose, organize, and guide them. In addition, on the weekend right before the RNC, cyclists will find rides geared toward networking and outreach with other bicycle activists, including aDNC to RNC welcoming ride on August 26th , a festive Critical Mass after-party on August 27th, and a day of bicycle events on August 28th, with bicycle maintenance workshops, a bicycle carnival, and a bicycle Bar-B-Que. Please join us to promote a cleaner, safer, bicycle-friendly city and country.
