Cleveland Bicycle Week
OCBC has been working with several other groups to present a week of cycling activities with the goal of bringing area cyclists together to jump start an advocacy movement here. While OCBC focuses on Education and expressly does not do advocacy, it is important to have a healthy advocacy group to do all the other E's; Encouragement, Engineering, Enforcement and Evaluation (soon to include a sixth, Equity).
In addition, there is a great opportunity for bike education at the meny events you will find at ClevelandBicycleWeek.org
Even if you cannot attend any of these, at least take the ClevelandBikes survey, and let your voice be heard!
Bicycle Scavenger Hunt, May 17th
On May 17th at 10am, as part of Cleveland Bicycle Week, OCBC will be hosting Cleveland's first Bicycle Scavenger Hunt -- the first known presentation of this kind of event anywhere: part alleycat, part critical mass, part transportation-cycling demonstration:
The event is suitable for everyone; you will not need weeks of training, a $2500 bike, the nerves of a bike messenger, or even your own bicycle (rentals are available) to participate. However, a good sense of direction may help. There is no "route" for the ride, but everyone will receive a map with destinations marked, and the "items" you can get at each place. There will be plenty of destinations you can reach without riding on busy streets or going fast, as well as some that you can burn some calories getting to.
