We are searching for volunteers to help with an event ! Â We will be pairing up with the Port of Long Beach (POLB) for their Green Port Festival on Oct. 3. Â LB Cyclists will be offering bike tours into the port for the festival; the route will start at the Promenade (at Ocean) and end at the Port administration building (about 1.2 mi). Â We will also be guiding additional inner harbor tours to Pier J to promote the newly proposed bike route. Â In addition, our hugely successful Bike Valet service will be offered! Â The event will run from 9:00 am to about 3:00 pm, however, if you can only volunteer for a portion of that time, we would still love to have you!
There is much to do for this event, so we need some of our Long Beach Cyclists to help out where they can. Â Even if you have never assisted us with any of our events, we still welcome you. Â The tasks are very simple and prior instruction will be given.
Our involvement with the Port for this event is a huge benefit for our organization. Â They will be reaching out to thousands of homes and many bike friendly businesses with newsletters and flyers, promoting the event and cycling as a fun, sustainable mode of transportation! Â Compensation will be offered to the organization and we sure do need that! Â POLBÂ is a huge driving force in Long Beach on so many levels. Â If we are successful in this partnership, we may be given more opportunities by them in the future to promote our organization and it’s objectives!
What we need help with:
- Bike Parking Attendants (tag a bike and put it on the rack, plenty of instruction will be given)
- Bike Tour Monitors (Led by a road cycling instructor you will ride with the groups into the port, helping keep them organized along the way)
Thank you for taking the time to consider helping out! Â If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
