Greetings readers,
I would like to update all on the excitement gripping Macon on the weekend building up to next week's bike festivities. Currently, we have restored around 30 bicycles and have another dozen in storage. We don't have enough workers to get all bikes active. This is for the best though since it is our preference to start small and hopefully grow with student involvement. Getting students involved does not seem like it will prove difficult. There has really been minimal advertising but students across campus are talking. To our surprise, all bikes have already been checked out for next week! We have a waiting list that is almost as large as the number of orange bikes in our fleet. So, Monday afternoon we will be holding a press conference in the Biology Department that will serve as the official launch for Bear Bikes. Afterwards, there will be a brief bike safety demonstration followed by our first ride to a BBQ restaurant downtown (see White Lightening on map below). Keep your fingers corssed for good weather and safe riding.
Craig
