Canceled: Little Library Bike Ride with BCO & HTXO

Have you seen those little libraries popping up all over town?  It’s such a cool concept that we thought it would be fun to bike ride to a few and add some books!

 

Bring a book to donate to the libraries.  The book doesn’t have to be new so you can hit up any local used book store or pick something off your ‘dusty’ book shelf. 😀  We’ll also do a fun little game to see if any else brought the same book as you.

 

NOTE: If we end up having more books than we can fill libraries, BCO will drive around town and fill the rest of the libraries with the remaining books! Thanks to Kaboom Books, our book sponsor!!

 

Bring your bike and helmet. No musics please. No pulling kids in stroller bikes. No riding on handle bars.  We practice bike safety to keep you safe. You’ll need either a basket or a bookbag to carry your book!

 

No bike? No worries! Houston has great rental options. Choose from:

B-Cycle Kiosk: Looking for the quickest rental option? B-Cycle allows you to rent via mobile app. There are many stations around town to pick up and drop off your rental. Check their map and pricing options information here: http://houston.bcycle.com.

  

BCO & HTXO Member Gear: If you are a member of Bayou City Outdoors and do not have a bike, we can loan you a bike for the ride; however, you MUST call the office 1 to 2 weeks in advance to arrange for the loaner bike.

Where to Meet:  

Onion Creek, 3106 White Oak Dr., Houston, TX 77007. Please DO NOT park in the Onion Creek lot – there is parking on the surrounding streets, but look out for ‘no parking’ signs. Meet at 8:30 AM – Our ride will go from 9:00 AM to 12 PM.

This event is FREE for members and non-members alike. This event is open to older kids (teenagers) who have good bike handling skills.

Please note – we will be riding on some busy Houston streets.

 

Never been before??

No worries!  More than half of the people going have never been before and many people show up by themselves.  So when you show up, if everyone looks like they have known each other for years…. Don’t worry. They likely just met.  Look for the event leader and then them know it’s your first time and we’ll make sure to take care of you! 😀
