The HBC Public Relations Committee Needs Your Help!

We all know how wonderful HBC is, but your help is needed to spread this message, as well as the message of bike safety, to others in the Harrisburg area. There are several upcoming events where HBC will have a display table and we need volunteers to help out. Your duties would be to answer questions, give out brochures, and in some instances, operate the Bike Wheel Safety Game.  The kids love this game!  

The dates we need volunteers are:

Did you know?

AAA Central Penn's 24-Hour Emergency Roadside Assistance program includes members' bicycles.  Most people are familiar with AAA's Roadside Assistance program: when a member's automobile doesn't start, breaks down, or otherwise becomes inoperable, AAA will arrive on-scene to tow the automobile to a repair facility or the owner's home. Now, similar coverage applies to bicycles.  AAA will send a light-duty service vehicle - equipped with a bicycle rack - to take you and your bike to a repair facility or your house. Читать дальше...

Huntsdale Fish Hatchery Reminder

Huntsdale Fish Hatchery on Pine Road is often used as a pit stop by cyclists riding in that area. There is signage on the door asking that shoes with cleats be removed before entering because the floor is being damaged by the cleats. Please honor this request, even if you have recessed cleats or cleat covers. 

The Huntsdale Fish Hatchery employees work hard to maintain such a nice facility, and we should do our part to help them out.
