On the Lincoln Highway from BCBC's ride to Jersey City on 9/13

This Sunday, September 20th, is bike repair day in Lincoln Park, followed by a group ride. Come out to the park, enjoy the cooling weather and fix up your bike! We’ll be on hand to help you out or let you use our tools. Look for us between 2pm and 4. Free, of course!

And remember, Repair Day in the Park happens every third Sunday of the month.

Save the Date:

October 17, Newark’s first Bike Rodeo will be held, location and time TBA. Sponsored by the NJ Department of Transportation and Newark Department of Recreation with the help of Meadowlink and BCBC, the Bike Rodeo will be an action packed opportunity for kids to learn the rules of the road, hone some bike riding skills for navigating Newark streets and get fit with a free helmet! Stay tuned for more info-

BCBC October ride: 10/2. Come ride with us as we take a tour of the city on one of our regular “first friday” rides! We meet at 7pm on Beaver St, in downtown Newark.

Finally, check back for Halloween rides and events. It’s true – it’s right around the corner.

Join Us!

BCBC would like to invite everyone to some upcoming events:

1. Repair & Ride in Lincoln Park: THIS SUNDAY 8/16

Need a tune up? Is your bike not working properly? Join BCBC at Lincoln Park from 2-4 pm and learn how to fix your bike! Mechanics will be in hand to help diagnose and show you how to do minor repairs. The group ride will leave from Lincoln Park at 4:15.

2. Biking Audit: Sunday, 8/23, Noon, Newark Penn Station (by the bike racks in the back)

Many of Newark’s streets are in a bad state of disrepair, forcing bike riders into traffic to avoid dangers such as potholes, those “reverse potholes,” and broken glass. The bike audit rides are to document some of these hazards along our routes and work with the city to get them fixed. *If you can, bring a camera*

3. Group Ride: Friday, 9/4

We are meeting at 7pm at Beaver Street. This will be about 2 hours long, route to be determined. Make sure to bring lights for your bike and water to drink! And for those of you that missed it – Mayor Cory Booker rode with us on 8/7! Check out pictures on the website.

4. Working group meetings: Wednesdays @ Index Gallery – 585 Broad ST – 7:30 pm

Join us as we plan and implement upcoming events, advocacy and fun.

Hope to see you there!
