Acclaimed bicycle author David Herlihy will be in Davis on Friday, July 23rd to give a special presentation at the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame. Herlihy’s latest book, The Lost Cyclist: The Epic Tale of an American Adventurer and His Mysterious Disappearance, has just been published and he will give a slideshow presentation of never-before-seen-by-the-public images relating to the book. Following the presentation, Herlihy will autograph books and the Avid Reader bookstore will have his books available at the Hall of Fame for purchase.

The presentation and book signing will run from 5:30 to 7:00 pm inside the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame, at 303 3rd Street in Central Park at the corner of 3rd and B Streets in downtown Davis. This rare opportunity to meet author David Herlihy and see his presentation will be free for U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame members and just $5.00 regular admission to the Hall of Fame for other visitors. The Lost Cyclist will be available for purchase following the presentation, as well as his well-known book, The Bicycle: A History. The author will be available to sign his books that are purchased that evening.

Since space is limited for this event, those who wish to reserve a ticket to the David Herlihy event can visit the Avid Reader bookstore in downtown Davis at 617 2nd Street. The local independent bookstore is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. The phone number is (530) 758-4040.

Subject: Maint clinic blurb

Can we get a blurb about the road maint. Clinic next weekend? June 5 at noon at whitworth. 5 bucks suggested donation and is geared toward serious cyclists. Refreshments will be provided.

Paul

Happy to help, Paul.

Come for the refreshments at Whitworth Cycles, 2311 S Street (alley), on Saturday, June 5th, at noon, stay for the road maintenance clinic. This isn’t an SBK thing, but we’ve got a few road riders in our patron posse that could certainly be interested, and maybe it’ll help fill your jonesing for some mechanical training if you can’t make SBK’s class on brakes, on Sunday, June 6th at 3:00 PM.

You can catch SBK’s grand debut on local morning TV here.

• The registration desk will open at 1:15 PM in front of the Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen at 1915 I Street. All teams have to register and pay the participation fee ($10 per person; cash or check only) before they can play. Pre-registered teams already have their slots reserved, and we’re only allowing up to fifty (50) teams to participate.
• At registration, every player will be given a little tag with their team number on it. Like last year, this tag can be redeemed for one beer at our Second Saturday party (starting 6:00 PM), provided the participant is of legal drinking age. Bring ID — we card!
• We’ll go over the specific rules of the scavenger hunt and clean up the last details around 2:00 PM, and the hunt should begin shortly after. Hunters should expect to be in around 5:00 PM, and we will announce the winners as soon as possible.
• Teams will need to bring some way to safely carry small items around on their bicycles (such as a backpack, a basket, or a purse) and a digital camera or camera-enabled cellular phone.
• You do not have to have a bicycle to participate, but unless you’re an Olympic level distance runner, you’re not going to do very well without one.
• Teams must obey traffic rules while on the hunt. There will be a fair amount of vehicle traffic in midtown and downtown, so act accordingly.
• Because you’ll be riding your bike on a warm sunny day, please take measures to avoid sunburn, heat stroke, and dehydration.

I think that about covers it. Pre-registration is closed, but there is still room for a few more teams, so come down early on Saturday to reserve your spot. Happy hunting, and we’ll see you tomorrow!

And now a break from the endless stream of sponsor announcements…

Clan Dyken is bringing their bicycle powered music straight from the Whole Earth festival to our humble shop this Second Saturday (right after our scavenger hunt).  Along with Sizzle and Thomas Spellman, this should be one heck of a show, whether you’re here for the music or just want to kick back and cool your heels with a brewski after a couple hours of riding around midtown like lunatics.  Either way, you’ll be in for a treat.

Show starts at 6 PM, at the Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen, 1915 I Street, next to the railroad tracks.

• Toro Quality Goods is kicking in some of their awesome comfortable, durable, and visible reflective-ink shirts — perfect for the urban cyclist!
  

• Chocolate Fish will also join the fun — our winners can look forward to some of their delicious New Zealand-style coffee and gift cards!

You’ll only get a chance at these prizes if you play, so e-mail hunt@sacbikekitchen.org to register your team today!
