First Thursday of the month starting August 5th, 2010

BIKE Drinks kicks off at a special location on August 5th!
215 Spadina Ave. Suite 120 @ Centre for Social Innovation
From 6:30pm - presentation at 7pm
BYO - (Drink sponsor TBC)
Regular location: Victory Cafe - 581 Markham Street (1 block S of Bloor, 1 block W of Bathurst) The Victory Cafe is a family-friendly environment.
We thought it was time to get a regular social started up again and we’re going to kick it off with a special presentation by the bike union’s Yvonne Bambrick.
Yvonne will be giving a short presentation about her recent trip to the Velo-City global cycling conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, and will also share some observations on the 20,000 Velib public bikes and new infrastructure from her short stop in Paris.
* Brand new bike union T-shirts will be available for purchase ($20 including tax)
* Special Announcement regarding a custom painted bike giveaway!
So bring along a friend or two to meet your friendly local cycling advocates in a relaxed informal space, get the latest bike related news, hear about upcoming events /campaigns/volunteer opportunities, hang out with other folks that dig bikes amongst other things, and enjoy an occasional bike related (surprise surprise) special presentation!
This is a great space to share ideas for current projects or future campaigns, along with stories from the road or current events that are of interest to you and / or your community.
BIKE Drinks is our two-wheeled adaptation of the globally popular Green Drinks, a monthly social for those who work or have an interest in the Environmental movement. “Everyone invites someone else along, so there’s always a different crowd, making Green (BIKE!) Drinks an organic, self-organising network.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Drinks
Come on out to the Victory Cafe on the first Thursday of the month and raise a glass with your bike union!
Cheers,
The bike union crew?"
