This is gonna be a blast! Here’s a chronological list of the events:
-4:30pm: Bike ride to The Che meets at the Big Fountain at Balboa Park.
-5:30pm: Vegan dinner cooked by the amazing and talented Che chefs and you if you’d like to volunteer!
-6:00pm: Screening of UCSD Alumni Kareem Shehab’s Death Pedal 2 during dinner at 900 Gilman Drive which is just west of Gilman Drive & the Scholars Lane intersection at UCSD.
-6:30pm: Bike Workshop organized by Bic Control: Bicyclists on the Mic!
Workshop section 1: Maintenance 101 by The Bike Kitchen aka Bikes Del Pueblo.
Workshop section 2: Know Your Rights 101. Ever wonder exactly what it is you’re entitled to on the road? The socio-cultural behavior of many motorists pressures cyclists into the gutters. But what does the law say? Knowing your rights can help you ride w/ greater confidence.
Workshop section 3: Make Your Own LED Bike Light 101. This section will be lead by Cairie Riney, UCSD Alumni and one of the founders of UCSD’s Interdisciplinary Computing and Arts Cult (ICAC). Cairie has designed her own prototype light and on Monday you can learn how to make one, too.
The San Diego County Bicycle Coalition has very generously provided funding for light materials! Though, the materials for the 30 lights are already RSVP’d, the “how to” information is unlimited. Plus, you can take home a leaflet on how to make your own LED light.
After all that, it’s time to dance w/ Koalacaust, Jehovas Fitness, and finally, Defiance, Ohio.

As if you needed further encouragement to come out, SD City Beat’s ‘If I Were U’ picked this show as Plan A for Monday, July 5.
Hope to see you there!
