Tuesday Night Bike Ride

WOW!!! This was pretty exciting to read. The Tucson Bike Lawyer or Erik Ryberg as some of us know him is a good friend of mine and really any cyclist in town. Well he keeps a blog on this web site tucsonbikelawyer.com where he is always advocating for cyclists rights and keeping cyclists up to date with humor, style and reason. The reason though that I mention this is that on his blog the other day he was mentioning that the Tuesday night ride this week is going to be a fun special one in which the founders of the ride are going to come out and ride again. So you should go. But this is not the exciting part, the cool part is that one of the comments posted was one about how someone was going to raffle off a bicycle and was going to give the proceeds to El Grupo. Totally exciting. So if you read this and like the team then please go out and ride bikes with all your friends and buy a raffle ticket.

Thanks Coghauler who ever you are!!!


Eriks' Post
Tucson bike lawyer, regrettably, is in Colorado and won’t make the Tuesday Night Bike Ride this week, but you should. The Tuesday Night Community Bike Ride is still going strong after two years and this week many of the founders of the ride will be there to celebrate. I think they are even going to give a speech.
So go say hello! 8 PM at the flagpole at Old Main. Just East of the main gate at University and Park. If you don’t know, the TNCBR is a slow-paced ride through town every Tuesday night. It is attended by hundreds. Come on your coolest bike. Bring a bell. It’s like a cocktail party on bikes, and you should go!

Win a bike on Tuesday night at theFounders ride!!! You read it right…Coghauler, in an effort to make theFounders ride a more significantevent, will raffle one of his bikesfrom the closet with the proceedsgoing to El Grupo Youth Cycling.El Grupo, if you don’t know, is agroup of jr. high and high schoolstudents coached by Ignacio RiveraDe Rosales learning the variousaspects of the sport of cycling.And getting some great physicalconditioning in the process withhill climbing, time-trialing, roadracing, mountain biking, velodromingand El Touring and I’m so darn proudof them I could just spit.So…bring $3.00 for a chance to wina bike (or $5.00 for 2 chances) andget these young cyclists some cash tobe able to go to the places they needto go and some equipment they need to doit. The bike will be cool…definitelyTuesday-Night-Community-Bike-Ride worthy.***SPREAD THE WORD***And Thank You for Your Support
