Tour de Tomato - Saturday, 10 May 2008
Join your friends in the community and Charleston Moves for a VERY leisurely ride on the West Ashley Greenway. Bring the kids and enjoy refreshments provided by Earth Fare, pancake flat trail and not a car in sight on this ride! We will ride as a group and NO ONE will be left behind.

Ride of Silence - Wednesday, 21 May 2008
The Ride of Silence, which is held during Bike Safety month, aims to raise the awareness of motorists, police and city officials that cyclists have a legal right to the public roadways. The ride is also a chance to show respect for those who have been injured or killed while cycling on public roadways.
Charleston Coastal Cyclists will lead the Ride of Silence from Hampton Park (near the Citadel). We'll leave from the north parking area of the park at 6:30 PM and make a 12 mile circumnavigation of the peninsula. Please join us for pizza afterwards at the home of Peter Wilborn a few blocks away on Grove Street.
Summerville , of the Greater Summerville Bicycle and Pedestrian Coalition, is organizing this year's Summerville Ride. They'll leave the Publix parking lot on Trolley Road at 7 PM.
Come out and show your support at either ride. Help demonstrate that we need a safer environment for cycling!
