Bike Chattanooga
Pops on the River Bike Valet, July 4th
Ride a bike, bring a bike - It's Pedal Power.
Outdoor Chattanooga is providing free bicycle valet service and accepting bicycle donations for a new program called Pedal Power during the Pops on the River concert and fireworks display on Sat., July 4, from 6 to 11 p.m. at the Outdoor Chattanooga center, located at 200 River St. in Coolidge Park.
Pedal Power is a charitable initiative, sponsored by the City of Chattanooga's Art of Change program and the Chattanooga Community Kitchen, to provide new and gently used bicycles and helmets to homeless individuals working to improve their lives.  In partnership with Outdoor Chattanooga and the Main St. Bicycle Cooperative, Pedal Power will empower and educate homeless clients while promoting bicycles as a simple and economically- sustainable form of transportation.

The Outdoor Chattanooga Bicycle Valet is a volunteer-run service that provides free, secure bicycle parking for people who ride to Chattanooga area events, such as the recent Riverbend Festival.
Concert-goers who ride their bicycles to Pops on the River will be able to park their bikes free inside the Outdoor Chattanooga center. They will also receive exclusive use of the facility during the concert and fireworks display.  People donating to Pedal Power will enjoy the same privileges, provided that they contribute a roadworthy bicycle with minimal repair needs.
Bicycles may also be donated at the Outdoor Chattanooga facility during regular business hours, Mon. - Fri., 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
For more information about the bicycle valet or Pedal Power programs, contact Chattanooga Bicycle Coordinator Philip Pugliese at (423) 643-6887 or email ppugliese@outdoorchattanooga.com , or Jens Christensen, Director of Marketing, Chattanooga Community Kitchen at (423) 305-6822 or cckm@chattanooga.net.
