Go Green, Go Dutch, Go Bike

Saturday, September 25, 9:00 a.m.  Outside the Van Noord Arena, Calvin College, Grand Rapids Michigan

 Several years ago the Dutch Consulate in Toronto began a promotional initiative called Go Green, Go Dutch, Go Bike. It calls attention to the longstanding importance of the bicycle in the Netherlands, that urban bicycle transportation is good for the environment, and that other countries can learn and benefit from Dutch bicycle culture.

 Together with area bicycle organizations, Calvin College will hold a Go Green, Go Dutch, Go Bike Event on Saturday Sept. 25 (with Saturday, October 2, as an alternate date, in case of rain) with some pre-ride activities beginning at 9:00 outside the Van Noord Arena and the ride from campus to downtown leaving at about 9:30. The ride will return to campus around noon. The return route will take riders past some outdoor Art Prize exhibits. t-shirt sale ($15 with $5 going to the Motion Initiative: An Urban Cooperative Youth Bicycling Ministry)

Everyone is invited to ride along.
