The Chesapeake Climate Action Network, Bike Maryland, the Bike Doctor Annapolis and Clean Currents invite you to bring your bike to Lawyers’ Mall on September 24 for the state’s first “rolling rally” for clean energy. The event will be part of a global day of action on clean energy called Moving Planet and will promote efforts to develop the state’s offshore wind energy resources. Based on their performance last year it’s clear that we really need to clearly illustrate to Annapolis legislators how to move the state forward on offshore wind energy. Part of a global day of climate action called “Moving Planet” the event will take lawmakers through the whole process start to finish – from the rolling rally of skates, bikes, skateboards, strollers and more taking the “people-powered movement” to State Circle, to a theatrical bill signing and the final assemblage of miniature wind turbines by workers on the water. So sign up to join us on your bike or other people-powered vehicle this September 24! More info at https://bit.ly/rolling…

We’re very excited to announce that the 2011 Charm City Garden Tour will be hosted on Whitelock this year!
Groups will go out by bike and bus to visit a selection of Westside community gardens, and then everyone will return to a party with food and activities open to the entire community. If you’re interested in learning about how to help us prepare for the Tour, please contact Teddy Krolik at tkrolik@reservoirhill.net.

SECOND
ANNUAL LARRY’S RIDE AND RUN TO RAISE BICYCLE SAFETY AWARENESS
(Baltimore)
— Pump up those tires and lace up those sneakers, Larry’s
Ride and Run is back for its second year and will be held at Spring
Meadow Farms on Saturday, September 24, 2011. Larry’s Ride and
Run will continue to honor avid biker Larry Bensky who tragically
lost his life while biking in 2010.
Larry’s
Ride and Run is a Bike Maryland fundraising event that raises
awareness of bicyclists and bicycle safety issues. This year’s
event has added several new bike routes and a 3.6-mile run.
Following the bike rides and 3.6-mile run, celebration
activities will take place including a lunch for all registered
participants attending the event, including non-bikers and
non-runners. All friends and family are welcome to attend,
participate and enjoy the day!
On
April 6, 2010, 43-year-old Larry was struck by a car and killed while
bicycling on Butler Road, near Falls Road, in Baltimore County.
Larry left behind two daughters, a wife, six brothers and many
more who had the pleasure to know him.
Proceeds
from the ride go directly to advance the advocacy efforts of Bike
Maryland, a non-profit dedicated to better and safer bicycling,
walking and mass transit. Help raise awareness of bicyclists
and bicycle safety issues to prevent similar tragedies by celebrating
Larry’s life, one mile at a time.
