Friends,

Bike to School Week is all about encouraging our youth to bike to school. Our hope is that we can convince them to ride while they're young and they'll make it a life-long habit.

From Bike to School Week's project leader, Hugh Van Wagenen:

"Get out and ride, drive slowly, and watch for kids!"
 

Also--if you didn't already hear about it--Provo Bicycle Collective is giving away over 75 bikes to kids this week.

From our friends at Bike Utah:

"We are looking for outstanding people to help us make Utah a better place to ride. We're hiring for a Program Director to implement our 1,000 Miles Campaign and a Youth Program Coordinator to help run our Youth Bicycle Education & Safety Training Program. You can see both position descriptions and how to apply here: https://bikeutah.org/jobs-and-internships/"

The City of Provo is hiring a Parking and Sustainability Coordinator, and planning to pay them more that any of us could dream of. Part of this person's job is to "advocate and model sustainability concepts and serve as catalyst for cultural change in the City". If that doesn't scream bike advocate, I don't know what does.

Apply today!

From Provo Bicycle Collective: 

"Bike Sadie Hawkins (formerly Bike Prom) is a party with bikes, dancing, and all your best friends. It's your chance to re-do that awkward high school dance.

Join us for a casual cruise around Provo--in your formal best--ending at Third Space Studios for a dance DJ'd by DJ BZ (back again by popular request). Third Space Studios is conveniently located in the heart of the downtown business district, so there will be no shortage of options for drinks and snacks around town!

What are you waiting for? Get your tickets now! All ages are welcome."

The League of American Bicyclists is surveying community members to find out how bicycle-friendly our universities are. Please take this short, 3-minute survey to help them understand the current nature of BYU.

We're pumped about these shirts! After months of negotiations, Provo Bicycle Collective is finally are able to use the iconic Leuven street art design featured on the mural behind Foxglove flowers and gifts.

These shirts are printed on high-quality American Apparel shirts that you'll actually want to wear. At $15, they're a great deal.

Head over to Provo Bicycle Collective to buy yours today!
