Join the Velo Caravan — a fun, monthly ride around Long Beach that brings together friends and lots of classic bicycles.
Road bikes, mixtees, touring bikes, middleweights… and more.
If Audrey Hepburn herself shows up, I suppose we won’t be too surprised.
The ride starts at 1824 E. Broadway —The Bicycle Stand shop — about one block west of Bixby Park. Show up shortly before 10:00am last Saturdays of the month. Velo Caravan rides are organized by The Bicycle Stand, phone (562) 279-4936.
Something near and dear to me (when I’m not volunteering for LB Cyclists) is professional photography. Recently, LB Cyclists was contacted by staff from “Get the Green” to help spread the word on their LA Metro area based photo contest for kids!
Get out in nature with your kids (age 13-18) and hand them the camera! For a great location in Long Beach, I would highly recommend a family bike ride down to El Dorado Park Nature Center (find the “Friends of El Dorado Nature Center” on Facebook) Let us know if you need a route- we’ll help get you there!
Contest started January 18, 2012 and ends March 14, 2012. Please take the time to look at their informative website for rules and PRIZE information!
Thanks for supporting a creative activity aimed at environmental sustainability!
