We seek your assistance to make this Friday’s ride the best one yet!
Lights - Your bikes need lights and taillights more than ever! If you are a bike store, from Highland to Walts to Sports Basement… let us know what discounts you may have available for SJ Bike Party attendees. We’ll post here.
Cameras - Bring your cameras. Follow whatever instructions are given at Hellyer Velodrome regarding flash. Still pics and video during the ride and regroup is great if you can do it safely.
Signs - We need construction signs and barricades to help with key turns! We’ll affix our SJBP signs to these! If you have any (or can ask a coworker or friend) please email sjbp.prerides@gmail.com as soon as possible. If you can help distribute these Thursday evening/Friday even better!
Music - Trailers, rear racks or handlebars are all good! We need many more! If you have built a setup, share your secrets. Lightweight music setups for 20-30 riders to hear are most welcome. You don’t have to have a 200-300W trailer system! Remember: Please turn down the music in residential areas and crank UP in remote areas.
Action - At Hellyer velodrome is exciting and all of us riding together up Hellyer Rd is too. The steep Hellyer climb has been taken out of this ride for safety considerations,etc. A cancer survivor called the ride “exhilarating!”
Please post questions for all of these items to sjbp.prerides@gmail.com

Lights! You need them this time more than ever. Don’t hit a giant crack or hole in the street because you can’t see it. And don’t get rear ended by someone becasue they can’t see you. Also, we need to be seen by everyone. How can we promote a community of bicycling if we can’t be seen because we’re not lit up?
