Monday, November 16:  Meet cyclists from Pedal Movement at the Catalyst Space on First near Linden, 5:00-7:00 pm. Pedal Movement people recently taught bicycle maintenance to a Boy Scout troop. That same night, there’s also a developer meeting held at Wilson High School. And every Monday you can watch polo for cyclists (Monday Night Murderball) at Whaley Park, perhaps even join the team… the Long Beach Knights. Click on the EVENTS calendar for specifics.
Tuesdays:  Pedal Movement organizes GFunk Tuesdays, for a medium-to-fast ride that starts at the In-n-Out near the Traffic Circle, departing a few minutes after 8:00 pm. And there are Tune-Up Tuesdays—the seeds of what might become a bicycle maintenance cooperative?—meeting at Ferns on Fourth Street.
Wednesdays: Â CSULBCyclists does a weekly ride starting at the Pyramid at 9:oo pm.
Thursday, November 19: Â Jeff Mapes, author of Pedaling Revolution, will be in town, meeting with the public at three venues, as mentioned in the previous article, and as outlined in the EVENTS calendar.
First Fridays: Â Support local bike-friendly businesses. Many offer special deals for cyclists on the first Friday of each month.
First Sundays:  Cyclone Coaster rides (vintage bicycles riding a leisurely pace) depart Portfolio Café the first Sunday of each month.
And there are ongoing Traffic Skills classes. And you can assist in LBC advocacy work. And Metro Access Audits will take place on December 5th and 12th—Saturdays. And more!
