3rd Annual Safe Streets Youth Ride
Save the Date: Sat. August 20th
Hey everyone! It is time to get energized for our big annual ride. There are many more people riding in Detroit now than have in recent memory. There are also many more groups doing rides together. On August 20th we will be gathering in our back alley at noon for our big annual ride. What makes our ride different? Well, the primary focus is our youth. We are inviting all our Youth that have completed the Earn-a-Bike program in the past year to bring those bikes out and ride with us. We hope they bring their families with them so they can all ride together. This will be a slow ride so people of all ages can keep up. Afterwards we will have a parent appreciation BBQ.
So what if you didn't participate in Earn-a-Bike? Well, that is the other part that makes our ride unique - it is a fund-raiser to continue the programming that we provide here in the Cass Corridor. If you would like to ride with our youth, please register at our Wepay.com site. Registration is $25, but if you register before August 13th - registration is only $10. Again, Youth Earn-a-Bike participants and their families ride free.
Any questions? Let us know. We hope to see ya'll out there on the 20th!

Program Update
News from Earn-a-Bike: I added this news to our website but I wanted to put it in here too. As of the beginning of August, our youth programming has gotten over 160 bikes out to kids in Detroit. Of course, this would never be possible without the over 160 people who donated bikes to us and all the volunteers that have helped out.
We still got some time to go and we got a bunch of donations in this week. We'll see how high we can get that number by the end of the year.
