Troy Bike Rescue

It happened!  3 months of organizing paid off with a successful convergence of community cylcling activists in Troy.  The growing local bike community met up with other builders of bike culture who had travelled from Ithaca, Providence, Worcester, Plattsburgh, New Haven, NYC, Montpelier, and Burlington.  We shared skills, we shared food, we rodeo'd, we tall-biked, and we had a all around great time networking!(including sunday's tr-icounty ride, pictured below).

Here is a  media roundup, assembled by Chris G., of the Sanctuary for Independent Media -- our amazing hosts and supporters.

Bike!Bike! NE happened!
