Karen and Tom will be sharing slides from 2 recent cycling trips to Scotland and Portugal.

        There is information below about how you can help the many bike shops that were destroyed from the California Wildfires. We should all be grateful that even though it's been a nasty winter, at least we're here to complain about it!  
I hope to see many of you at our future meetings and on the road when the riding conditions improve!

Above is the approved LI Greenway. Sal and I attended a meeting to show the planned route through the town of Huntington. The designers of the route were presenting to Huntington residents/workers/administrators to get their input. They welcomed our suggestions, as we were the only cyclists present. They were uninformed about Bike laws (questioning if helmets should be mandatory!), but were very determined to create safe riding conditions. Sal made sure they would put up signage for rest areas, accessible food places, road maintenance and parking.  kg

California Wildfire Support

 These are some links to directly support local riders and shops affected by the wildfires out in Los Angeles.

With thousands of GoFundMe’s popping up, naturally a few are dedicated to community cyclists and small bike shops who’ve lost their homes and livelihoods in the fires. A few folks and shops to consider donating to: 

Steve’s Bike Shop, Dorothy “Dot” Wong and Jeff Herring, Elon and Carly Rubin, Ben Lieberson.

 

If you’re looking for something to purchase, check out the Cyclismo Para Todxs Tee, designed by The Athletic Community, screen printed by Moon Dust, and cut and sewn by L.A. Apparel. Proceeds will be donated to the Mutual Aid L.A. Network (MALAN) to directly support fire relief efforts. Preorder here. 


And finally, L.A.’s public officials recommend donating to some bigger organizations as well, like the American Red Cross and California Community Foundation's Wildfire Recovery Fund. (And sadly, you might need to check some charities out if you are unfamiliar with them before fully donating in case they are scams.)
