Troy Bike Rescue and newly created Electric City Bike Rescue are hosting an Upstate New York Bike Summit!

Community Bike Shops (a.k.a. Bike Rescues) from the Tri-cities area of Albany, Schenectady, and Troy will be present as well as Bike Rescues from Utica, Ithaca, Rochester, and Buffalo. This will be the first gathering for some of these organizations and a reunion for some of the Bike Rescues that participated in TBR's Bike!Bike! event a couple years ago.

Topics will range from Best Practices on how to form, organize and operate a community bike shop to how the community bike shops can work with NYBC and other advocates to best promote bicycle rescue, restoration and utilization for transportation and recreation.

The meeting will be held at the Schenectady Central Library on Saturday February 21st from 11am to 4pm.

If you represent a community-based bicycle program or shop and wish to attend, please contact Mike at rozdol@yahoo.com. They have a large room reserved and have room for you!
