SATURDAY, JUNE 7TH
SATURDAY, JUNE 7TH
DINNER AND BIKES
After missing out on hosting Dinner and Bikes last year because I was out of town, I'm ecstatic that Elly Blue followed up with a 2014 Northeast Tour. Elly Blue and Joshua Ploeg will be bringing vegan dinner, bike movies, and Bikenomics to Hartford on this packed evening of bicycle love. Doors open at 6PM, and the dinner bell rings at 7PM sharp. Tickets are available online from $10 to $25, and go up $5 if purchased at the door on Saturday. Please get your tickets online - so we get a solid headcount for the dinner portion of the event.
In addition to Elly and Co., Hartford Food System will be providing the tasty and locally grown greens for the dinner. You'll have a chance to learn more about local, urban food production, community gardens, and youth gardening programs in Hartford. Because of Hartford Food System, there are many more community members with access to healthy, fresh vegetables that they have grown and tended.

Tickets are available online and I fully expect all 75 tickets to sell out prior to the event. If you are interested in committing time to the welcome table and setup / breakdown on the evening of the event, let me know. There are a couple of volunteer spots available.
Bonus karma if you show up on your bike, walk, or take the bus. Let's fill the fence with locked bikes. If you're driving, there is plenty of off street parking in the church lot on Hungerford.
Your evening wouldn't be complete without connecting multiple Hartford venues. Within a short walk of Emanuel Lutheran you will find Redrock (friendly local pub) and Firebox (fancier local restaurant and bar). Post event, I think I'll be heading over to Arch Street Tavern (a bit further, but a short bike ride and free parking) for the bands and DJ's - Shag Frenzy with 1.21 Gigawatts. Since I'm headed to Arch Street, that is the "official" after party.

The phenomena of event gravity has made Saturday, June 7th amazing for Connecticut bicycle lovers. As Brendan previously posted, there is a Bike and Parts Swap Meet in Wethersfield that morning from 8:00AM to 12:30PM. Looking for a commuter, cruiser, beater, or classic? Got stuff to sell? Parts to clear out? Just like looking at bikes. Check this out. I will be there with some 60's and 70's Schwinn's I've been accumulating. Free to attend, $25 to get a vendor spot.
