South Waterfront Community Relations will be celebrating Bike Month in lots of fun ways and invite you to join us:
- Bikes and Brews: A free bike repair workshop series held on May 10 and May 31, featuring complimentary beer and snacks. Please see the Featured Events section above for more information.
- New South Waterfront Bike Tool Library: Don’t have the tools or space you need to tune up your bike or fix that flat? Borrow tools and/or repair space from your friendly South Waterfront Community Relations Bike Tool Library.
- Sharing is good. Especially when it helps more people to get out of their cars and onto a bike! If your old bike is feeling neglected, give it fulfillment by donating it to the new South Waterfront BikeShare program. Once enough bikes are collected to implement the program, SWF BikeShare bikes will be available for checkout to South Waterfront residents and their guests for day trips.
Contact South Waterfront Community Relations Director Pete Collins for information about the above programs. pete@southwaterfront.com or 503-972-2830.
