Dump the Pump Convoy in Historic Baldwin Park October 1, 2008
Posted by history in : Events, SCAD, Sustainability, Travel , trackbackDump the Pump Convoy Friday October 3:
Mayor Otis Johnson, in his support for helping Savannah become a more Bicycle Friendly Community, is joining our first Dump the Pump Convoy, a group bike commute this Friday morning, October 3, leading up to a 9am press conference to open new bike racks in front of Panera at Bull and Broughton. One group will meet at 8am in the Habersham Village parking lot, and the mayor’s group will meet in Baldwin Park (Atlantic and 41st) at 8:15am and depart shortly after. Both groups will join together on Lincoln Street for the rest of the ride downtown.
These first two convoys will be a way to introduce commuting by bike to people who might be interested but intimidated about riding to work. Baldwin Park is a great neighborhood from which to ride a bike downtown, and we want to help you see how fun and easy it can be. We plan on organizing additional convoys for future Dump the Pump events.
The press event at 9am in front of Panera Bread will include free coffee and bagels for bike commuters.
We hope to see you there!
