Bike Month News & Info on the Radio

Join our own Koula Redmond and Bike Jax sponsor ZenCog partner Garf Cooper tomorrow morning on First Coast Connect, WJCT's local morning radio program. They will be discussing local bike issues along with upcoming bike events. Should be an interesting hour.

Dinner & Bikes

Good day, all! It's Koula, here. Well, one of the first bike advocacy writers I followed was Elly Blue, author of the Taking the Lane blog and zine series. It is with pleasure that we announce that Elly and the Dinner and Bikes tour will make a stop in Jacksonville, Florida later this month!



Please join us on Wednesday, April 25th from 7pm to 9pm for a traveling road show of vegan food and bicycle inspiration. Joshua Ploeg will delight with an extensive buffet and Elly Blue and Joe Biel will present short videos and a slideshow about bicycle culture, activism, and the economy. There will be time for questions, discussion of local issues, and perusing the traveling bookstore.

Dinner & Bikes will be held at CoRK East Gallery, from 7PM-9PM. CoRK is located down the road from Intuition Ale and Kickbacks Gastropub, and across the street from Bold City Brewery, at the corner of Rosselle and King Street, or here's the address if you want to GPS it:
2689 Rosselle Street
Jacksonville, FL 32204

Tickets are $10 in advance, or $15 at the door (tickets include dinner). If you plan on coming, please consider purchasing a ticket in advance to save some cash, and so the crew knows how many meals to prepare.

This is a great event to attend if you're into bicycling, the economic benefits of biking, advocacy, vegan food, local economies, zines, or pretty much anything awesome. Plus, it's a great way to kick off Jacksonville's Bike Month in May!
