Buffalo Blue Bikes Invites You...
Perhaps people, and kids especially, are spoiled today, because all the kids today have cars, it seems. When I was young you were lucky to have a bike. -James Cagney
Thursday, December 1st, will be Buffalo Blue Bicycles' usual workshop and social gathering n all are welcome to come and join the fun.
On Saturday, December 3rd, we will have our first Blue Bike potluck, for all folks lovin' Bikes and Buffalo! The potluck will be from 4-7pm at Prospect Avenue, with a showing of the documentary End of Suburbia from 4:30 to 5:30pm. Please bring a dish/food to share. We're ending early so enthusiasts can continue the party out somewhere else if they wish... call 359-3082 to RSVP, for directions or more information.
On Sunday, December 4th, there will be a class/workshop on Cable Brakes (from 12pm to 1pm with a $3 donation) held at Precinct 17 on Colvin Avenue & Linden (map) before the usual open shop time from 1-3pm. Your $3 donation will help to enhance your knowledge of different types of brakes, while supporting this important non-profit program. Then, following the hour-long class, hang out with others while fixing up bikes around the shop. It's all for a good cause.
All proceeds from donations will go to securing Blue Bicycles in Buffalo.
We would like to meet other bike enthusiasts & urban activists. We are also eager to show Blue Bike's Director, Justin (photo on right) and the Wellness Institute some support for the Blue Bikes Program. Hope to see you Thursday, Saturday, Sunday or all of the above! - Bekah Williams

A Kennedy Visits Buffalo
