LOVE YOUR LANE RIDE
Saturday, February 14th
7 p.m., Astor Place Cube
Celebrate Valentine's Day by riding through Manhattan's lover's (bike) lanes. Join the Party on Wheels as we listen to love ballads from the soundbike, throw roses at all the cars parked outside of the bike lanes and spread the message of love to all the drivers we pass stuck in traffic. Road rage is OUT, bike-lane-loving is IN. The ride will end at the Valentine's Day Party!

"An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity."
…The attitude seemed to be, “do what you can,” and making “dead” bikes come “alive”. The idea of re-using “waste,” like abandoned bike parts, is the key element to living a freegan lifestyle….

TESTIFY !!!! “Not only did these bike making fanatics make me feel totally at home with the fact that I don’t know s**t about bike repair; but they were patient and willing to help me scrounge through their carefully selected, incredible stash of abandoned bike parts and teach me how to put together brakes, replace chains, handlebars, and pump up tires with proper form. And before I left, they even sent me off with a helmet!”
