A word from Z, our Corral Coordinator:
After last year’s record 1,800 bikes parked in & around Asheville, Asheville on Bikes is striving to park 2,500 bikes this summer! But we can only do it with your assistance. By investing your time back into the community and joining us in this highly-visible activity, more people will realize how important bicycling is to Asheville. Please consider more than 1 event to volunteer for. Perhaps find a friend or two and consider an on-going event like RiverMUSIC or the Mountain Sports Festival. Also, I am looking to train a few corral managers to handle some events. Shoot me an email for more information.
Remember…When YOU show, WE grow!
