Translation, please?
Sure! We’re talking about a family day of easy cycling fun.
Sunday, June 27th, Long Beach Cyclists will cycle to FOUR neat places here in Long Beach… and will even do a picnic. We’ll combine our regular Farmers Market Ride (the F.M.R.) with a special ride to the Patchwork Festival (P.W.F.), where we’ll enjoy a picnic. It’s a silly mouthful, but P.A.L.B.I.F. means pack a lunch because it’s fun! Join us!
We will meet in the morning at Portfolio Coffeehouse (Fourth Street at Junipero).
At 9:45 am we will cycle from Portfolio to Belmont Shore, stopping briefly at Jones Bicycles. (Discounts at Jones for ride participants!)
After Jones, we’ll cycle past Naples to the Farmers Market near the Marina. Fresh fruit and veggies so that your picnic lunch can be extra fresh!
Then we’ll cycle to the Patchwork Festival (at Marine Stadium Park, Appian Way at Nieto) for exploring and chatting… and for our cyclists’ picnic.
The Patchwork Festival is free. It’s about crafts, quilts, things of all sorts made by hand. It’s about mingling, strolling, talking, and shopping locally—celebrating who we are and what we make of our lives.
And our picnic will be as yummy as the ingredients we bring along in our bike baskets. Hope to see you!

Get ready for some cycling fun! Â Join us on another PALBIF ride, this one on Sunday, April 18th. But note: You will NEED a good bike lock.
Sunday morning, prior to 10:00 am, we will meet just south of Joe’s Crab Shack (E. Marina Drive near Second Street). Arrive early if you wish to buy something yummy at the nearby farmers market. At 10:00, we will cycle to the El Dorado Nature Center. There, we will visit the museum and explore nature trails on foot. And then we will enjoy a picnic.
The PALBIF ride. PAL means ‘pack a lunch.’ So… what does BIF mean?
This will be a day for easy cycling—perfect for the entire family, including kids. For more information, go to www.longbeach.gov/naturecenter/.
