Greetings to World Bicycle Relief fans in the Boulder area. We are pleased to share that this coming Tuesday, February 23nd, Katie Bolling (Grassroots Development Manager for World Bicycle Relief) will be holidng a coffee roundtable discussion at 8am at The Cup (1521 Pearl Street). Katie will be spending the week in Colorado meeting with volunteers and doing presentations and she added the roundtable to her agenda due to the overwhelming support for World Bicycle Relief in the Boulder community. “As everyone knows, Boulder is passionate about cycling and it’s great to see that passion spill over to our mission. We’re providing bikes to some of the poorest people on the planet so, while Boulder is definitely one of the most cycling-rich areas in the country, it’s very rewarding to have so many people there making it a priority to ensure that people in a need have the opportunity to ride bikes, too. So, when I learned about some speaking engagements that I’d be doing in Colorado, I made sure Boulder was my first stop. Our supporters there are that committed to our organization that I wanted the chance to answer questions, hear ideas and offer my deep thanks.”

We are at the final point in getting the Golden Bike Park approved by the City of Golden. Thursday night (March 4th) the Golden City Council will make the final vote for the Bike Park. We need your support more than ever before.

The meeting will be held at Golden's City hall at 7pm, March 4th. Council will be voting on Resolution 2042; The Bike Park. Seating is limited, so we need everyone to show up between 6 & 6:15pm to ensure we have more supporters than opponents. Please signup to speak if you are in support of this park. The opposition will be pulling out all stops to kill this proposal.

Meeting Location:
Golden City Hall
911 10th St
Golden, CO

After party celebration will be held at:
The Spot Bar and Grill
111 North Ruby Drive
Golden, CO

The Spot will have beers available for happy hour prices earlier for the bike park supporters (you). All proceeds will go to Comba for the support of the bike park.
