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.
