LB Cyclists has begun the search for sponsors for our official METRO Bike to Work Day pit stop. We will be at the Belmont Pier May 14th from 7am to 11am for LA County’s Bike to Work Day. We are looking for businesses to support our morning commuter/anyone-walking-or-biking-past-us event by donating products or services for raffles, giveaways and more. In return, we will give recognition on all published material i.e., posters, press releases, flyers etc. to be distributed through out LA and Long Beach. In addition to your contributions being duly noted, as well as, just plain amazing, you will receive a tax deduction receipt.
With your help we can successfully communicate to Long Beach residents that bicycling is the best alternative method of transportation! Please support our sustainability and advocacy pledge and let’s make Long Beach a bicycle friendly city!
If you would like a high-resolution digital copy of the non-sponsorship BTWD flyer to post at your workplace or community meeting place I will gladly supply one for you! For donations or general questions please feel free to contact me directly.
Thank You for helping us spread the word!

The folks at New Belgium Brewery have made a fun little video encouraging people to Bike More, Drive Less.
Sure brewing beer is serious business, but nobody says you can’t have a little fun while you’re at it.
If you’ve never been to the Great Western Bicycle Rally, you’ve been missing out! GWBR has been described as “like going to church, but the religion is bicycling”.
This is an annual event that has taken place in Paso Robles for 45 years. Unlike other biking events, you stay in one place and are invited to participate in 25 organized rides taking place over a long weekend. They have presentations from bicycling world travelers, a swap meet, a pretty bike contest, and a Huffy Toss – not to mention the comaraderie of fellow cyclists.
A small contingent of the Long Beach Cyclists participated last year, and we’ll all be going back this year! We will be discussing transportation plans at the March and April General Meetings.
Russ Roca put together a great slide show from last year.
