Bike Ride to Save Nick's Organic Farm

Saturday, November 5 · 10:30am - 3:30pm

Location

Ride starts at Dupont Circle
Bike to Nick's Organic Farm in Potomac, MD 8565 Horseshoe Lane Potomac, MD

Nick's Organic Farm provides organic seed and feed to other farmers in the area. But the farm is under threat of being turned into Montgomery County's 502nd, 503rd, 504th and 505th soccer fields!

In order to raise awareness and build power to keep the farm going, we're organizing a bike ride to the farm. We'll take a small walking tour of the farm and hear about the campaign to SAVE NICK's ORGANIC FARM.

The ride will start at Dupont Circle but we'll also stop at MacArthur Blvd and Brooks Lane as well as Bethesda Food Co-op to pick up more riders.

From Dupont Circle, the ride is an pretty easy, flat 28 miles round trip. There is only one brutal hill and no shame in walking it. In fact, it is that hill that makes Nick's farm so precious.

$5-$10 suggested donation. No one turned away! :) http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=275644989131739

Bike Clinics at the Bike House Co-op

Every Saturday, 12-3pm

The Bike House is a community-based bicycle repair co-op in Washington, DC.  Our mission is to build a place where all people can learn about, work on, and enjoy bikes.

We do this by providing free bicycle maintenance services and education through our Saturday clinics, and eventually, our do-it-yourself open shop. Due to space and budget limitations, we provide basic tools for maintenance and adjustments, but are unable to perform advanced mechaneering.  Most people come to our clinics to fix flats, adjust squeaky brakes, or share their love for biking.

The Bike House runs weekly clinics behind Qualia Coffee in Petworth. During our clinics, people come to

  • Fix their own bicycles
  • Ask advice and get help from our mechanics
  • Meet other bikers in the area
  • Learn about biking in DC
