RIDE REMINDER
Wed July 16 2014 / Issue #4

On Our Radar

Back with another Ride Reminder just in time for RAG--- err..  The BIG Ride!

 

Please read the PeopleForBikes Feature. This is near and dear to us and something we believe in for the "Big Picture" for Iowa and to help make cycling better across the country. We hope you take action this week. The Iowa Bicycle Coalition will get a $10,000 donation if we get 6,000 more signatures by this time next week. It only take a minute to sign up. Find out more.

 

We've seen lots of flooding this month all around Iowa. Be careful on those slick trails and watch out for debris. Most trails are opening back up, but there are still some under water.


We've added some great new bicycle-friendly Sponsors this month. We hope you stop by and support them like they have supported us.

 

Our new "Plaid is Rad" crew shirt, gemini tank tops and caps are a Hit! We've also rolled out some new "I Heart BIKEIOWA" designs in the store that will find their way onto a cyclist near you.

 

Ride Safe next week. Ride Safe every week!

Thanks for using BikeIowa
Ride Safe!
Scott Sumpter
