Bike In Movie: Big Hero 6

/in , /by

As part of Rideshare’s Bike Month, the SLO County Bicycle Coalition is showing Disney’s crowd-pleasing family-friendly animated movie Big Hero 6, a fun, hilarious adventure filled with robots, super heroes, science and a whopper of a whodunit.

Robotics prodigy Hiro lives in the city of San Fransokyo. Next to his older brother, Tadashi, Hiro’s closest companion is Baymax, a robot whose sole purpose is to take care of people. When a devastating turn of events throws Hiro into the middle of a dangerous plot, he transforms Baymax and his other friends into a band of high-tech heroes.

This year, as always, we’ll have popcorn and hot cocoa available, and our free Bike Valet will be there to park bicycles so you can relax and enjoy the movie. Riding your bicycle to the Bike In Movie is encouraged but by no means required. No matter how you get there, we’re looking forward to a magical night under the stars. Bring a blanket, sit back and enjoy the show!

Bike Valet

Free Bike Parking!

Every Thursday evening we set up our free Bike Valet at the downtown Farmers Market in San Luis Obispo. From 6:00 – 8:45 PM the Bike Coalition is there, parking people’s bikes and watching over them until the end of Farmers Market.

If you’ve never seen our Bike Valet, take a look at this video:

We park a lot of bikes every Thursday night, but we’ve always got room for a few more. We’d love to see you bike down some Thursday and let us hang on to your bike as you explore the market and downtown shops.

Farmer Market in SLO isn’t the only place we park bikes. Our Bike Valet service can be hired for your event, wedding or workplace. It’s an easy way to promote healthy, sustainable transportation to your event and is helpful when vehicle parking is tight and congestion is a problem.You can learn more here: https://slobikelane.org/programs/valet/#tab-id-2

Mud Mash Benefits the Bicycle Coalition!

/in /by

Our friends at All Out Events are hosting the 4th annual Mud Mash on October 26 – and the Bicycle Coalition is receiving a portion of the proceeds!

What is a Mud Mash?
It’s an epic course made of obstacles inspired by the military, rock climbing, nature, and more on a 5k run with hundreds of participants. The goal is to have fun, be active, and push yourself on the adventure course!

How do I support the Bicycle Coalition?
Register as a group in the “Industry Competition” and the Bicycle Coalition receives some of the proceeds!

What is the “Industry Competition”?
It’s not just against yourself and other teams, race against your industry! The awesome organizers of the Mud Mash have made it easy to register for a group of 5 (for the price of 4) in the “Industry Competition”. It’s a great way to get your groups name out there and secure bragging rights for next year!

1. Get five people together from your organization
2. Register and get five people for the price of four in the 5k event
3. Let them know what industry you are in (ex: colleges, wineries, non-profits, etc)
