BikeBANQUET Benefit for Recycle-A-Bicycle November 7
Please join Bicycle Utopia at Nomad Cycles on November 7 for a BikeBANQUET in honor of Recycle-A-Bicycle.
We are thrilled to welcome special guest, writer, humorist and radio host Randy Cohen!
We will be eating, drinking, dancing, creating and conversing on the theme of urban mobility and infrastructure with friends in New York and São Paulo.
The evening kicks off at 5 pm with a session of visual brainstorming about biking, transportation and infrastructure. Over dinner we’ll be sharing our thoughts and ideas. And for dessert, we’ll be capturing the results with a very special BikeART Party.
From 8 to 10 pm we’ll have music, dancing, a silent auction and at 9 pm we will raffle off a Vanmoof bicycle, along with prizes sponsored by Levi’s, ABUS, Nutcase Helmets and others.
