PEDAL FOR PEACE 2009


Saturday, May 16
Entrance to Central Park at 110th St. and Lenox Ave.

Registration and Sign-in begins at 10:00 a.m.
Ride starts promptly at 11:00 a.m.

Be a part of the Cycle of Peace with an afternoon family friendly bike ride! This ride benefits NYC United for Peace and Justice, a city-wide coalition that is working for funding of our communities rather than wars and a massive military budget.

REGISTER TODAY!

The route starts out with us riding through East Harlem.  We have a rest stop in Highbridge Park with a great view of of scenic Bronx.  We continue through Harlem, ride down Riverside Drive and finish riding back up Central Park West with a finish at our starting location.  In past years, we have received cheers along the way as we chant Money for Schools, Housing, Jobs, not war! 

The general registration fee is $40, $25 student/low-income.  Children under 18 ride free.  All children under the age of 11 need to be either on a child seat on an adult bike or attached by tandem. Every rider gets a Pedal for Peace t-shirt to wear on the ride.

Riders are encouraged to solicit sponsors and will get their own on-line fundraising page making it easy for friends and family to donate. There are fundraising incentives that include an iPod shuffle for raising $1000.
