Co-op Shopping by Bike -- with Bike Ypsi June 17, 2010

Please hop on your bike and join us for this practical and fun event. The first hour will evaluate bikes and make recommendations for the best kinds of carriers, both DIY and purchased. How much can you safely carry? What foods travel best by bike? How can you pack & fasten grocery items onto your bike and get them home in good condition? Examples, experiences and educational materials will be provided by Bike Ypsi members. From 8 to 8:30, safe bike routes to and from the Co-op will be discussed. At 8:30pm, we'll shop! To complete the evening, members of Bike Ypsi will ride you home with your safe and natural groceries, delivered home by human power alone!

Did you know: 1 pound of CO2 pollution is cut for every mile pedaled. 1 out of every two trips Americans make by car are less than 3 miles. 3 hours of riding per week reduces your risk of heart disease and stroke by 50%. And it's fun!
