Bikerowave Class: Turn Your Old Bike to New Utility Bike
Peter will be back this month with a cool class. Ever glanced disgustedly at that beat and rusty mountain bike sitting in your side yard? It seemed like such a great idea in the 90's, an all terrain bike that gave you the freedom to be unrestrained by roads, man. Well put that neon colored contraption to work for you in the 21st century. Peter will teach you the in's and outs of converting it in to a really boss utility bike. Come listen to him discuss all things useless-to-useful and learn about smooth tires, extracycles, mirrors, and why every bike needs a water bottle cage.

Long Beach: Public Meeting on Fracking
June 12 and 13: Learn more about State Regulations and Fracking. Does the word “fracking” give you the heebie jeebies? It should, given that there no regulation in place that protects us from any potential harmful effects of the practice. The more I learned about the practice in the Baldwin Hills (see here and here), the more disturbed I became. Get involved in holding corporations accountable for the drilling practices in the Baldwin Hills area by attending one of the upcoming workshops and helping shape future regulation. The Department and the Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) will be on hand to listen to concerns and take recommendations. The workshops will be held Tuesday, June 12, 7:00 pm: City Council Chambers, 9770 Culver Blvd., Culver City, CA 90232 and Wednesday, June 13, 7:00 pm: Cal State University Long Beach – Student Union Building, 1212 N. Bellflower Blvd., Long Beach, CA 90815
