It has been a busy month for Bend Bikes. We hosted our first Kidical Mass ride with nearly 200 participants, led a bike tour of sustainable buildings for the Environmental Center Green tour, educated students about our organization at the OSU Beaver Block Party, hosted a social ride to Bevel Brewing, chimed in at the Neighborhood Connections open house, and received the Hero Award from the Deschutes County BPAC.
In this month’s newsletter we highlight the intersection of design, housing and transportation with a recap of our YIMBY social and an article on the Happy Cities presentation hosted by Build a Better Bend. We also add another favorite route to our popular routes to the new Bend Central Library.
