Cowgirl Bike Courier, Lady Fleur, and Cyclelicious are collaborating on a “Why We Bike” photo project to show people who bike around downtown San Jose and the reasons you all bike. We’ll meet this Thursday, October 9, 2014 at 5:30 PM with our cameras and clipboards, and we’d love to see you there.

Hi all,

Lady Fleur, Cowgirl Bike Courier and Cyclelicious will team up next Thursday evening to shoot photos of people with bikes as they hold up signs showing why they bike, somewhat akin to this and other similar projects.

We’d like to capture the diversity of people who ride bikes around downtown San Jose, including those who are typically under the radar of traditional cycling advocacy.

We plan to fan out in teams of two or three beginning about 5:30 PM in downtown San Jose on Thursday, October 2. One person in each team will chat up the person on the bike, the other person is the photographer. Somebody who knows Spanish or Mandarin would be helpful. We’ll do this until about 6:30.

Please get in touch if you think you can help out with this.

Thanks!

P.S. San Jose Bike Train runs next Wednesday, October 1!

Those of you who walk, run, skate or bike on city of San Jose trails might have noticed volunteers with clipboards at nine locations throughout San Jose counting you on this annual trail count day.
