leaves at 10:45, or catch up to us on Terwilliger
1:00 PM
End location: Go By Bike, S Moody Ave
BikeLoud has a new bike lane sweeper, which makes three!!! Join us from wherever you are to meet up downtown and learn how to run the different sweepers, try it out yourself. (Be near average height ~5'10" or have a burley trailer hitch on your bike, get in touch if you want to try it and not sure about this, #sweeper channel on the slack or e-mail etc.) We'll ride Terwilliger to downtown, meet the other sweepers, and try a variety of sweeping challenges, separated/curb-protected lanes, flexposts, and comparing the different sweepers' advantages or techniques in each location. Closed-toed shoes, leather/work gloves, safety glasses, and respirator/N95 mask recommended for comfort and safety. Each device includes a powered broom and can throw dust/debris in some cases. There are ways to stay out of the dust and debris but be prepared. Participants are welcome to watch from a distance or get as hands-on as they want. Rides will converge downtown and end at Go By Bike on S Moody.
