HOT WHEELS The 2007 Kids' Art Bike Parade

The EVCC is dedicated to improving our community's infrastructure and encourages sustainable transportation including walking, bicycling, scootering, skateboarding and other human-powered transportation.

1.  Pedal Power - Kids' Art Bike Parade

The EVCC's Third Annual Kids' Art Bike Parade will be held Saturday, May 8 in Tompkins Square Park.  Hundreds of children and adults will ride art decorated bicycles through our streets.  Bike Safety, Learn to Ride, and other bike related workshops will be held the day of the Parade.  EVCC is working with local stores, artists, and other not-for-profit and government organizations on this extraordinary event.

There are many ways YOU can participate!

• Donate: bikes, materials, or money to the Parade
• Volunteer on Parade day – you'll have a blast and get a free t-shirt
• Sign up to ride your bike in the parade

2.  Bicycle Lanes & Increased Bicycle Infrastructure

The EVCC encourages the Department of Transportation to increase the number of bicycle parking racks and bicycle lanes throughout our neighborhood and ensure lanes and routes connect safely with other forms of transportation throughout the City.  Dedicated Bicycle Lanes, physically separated from cars, trucks, and buses, are integral to urban bike safety and convenient sustainable transportation.
