1. Attention Bicyclists! Looking for a 45 mile ride with a fun party in the middle, plus free admission and other goodies? You are invited to be a part of the first ever
Bike Train to the 2008 RI Sustainable Living Festival!
On June 7 and 8, a set of cyclists including a trip leader will ride to the Festival. All who register for the bike trains will receive free admission, goodies, and the chance to learn new ways to live gently on our earth. The first 50 cyclists to register will receive a free t-shirt designed exclusively for bike train cyclists!
The Bike Train will leave from the Providence Railroad Station and proceed along the Washington Secondary Greenway collecting additional riders all along the way through Coventry to the Festival.
The train will pause at public parking lots on the route but riders can hop on board the train at any location along the bikepath. To participate in the train and get your free admission and T, contact Art Handy at art@apeiron.org or 401-228-7930.
The route is as follows for Saturday, June 7th, and there is a special website set up for this trip which you can view by clicking here:
Bike Train Riders will be recognized for the miles the group rode, how many people rode, and how many lbs of CO2 were not pumped into the atmosphere by your actions that day. A bike kiosk and other security options for bicycles will be available.
There will be camping available to those who want to camp over at the festival.
