Biking
 
A large group bike ride will be take place throughout Johnson City suitable for all levels of experience every last and first Friday of the month.  Basic services for cyclists will be offered such as education, a sliding scale donation (no one will be turned away due to lack of funds), and a fully equipped facility for bike building and maintenance with a volunteer staff of bike mechanics (not certified).
 
Entertainment
 
After the bike run there will be a benefit held at the Galaxy Lounge (216 E. Main St. Johnson City TN, 37601) which will be providing recourses for cyclists as well as wide variety of entertainment.  From 3pm- 4:30pm there will be Yoga sponsored by Manifest Collective.  Musical performances will begin at 5pm featuring The Penny Dreadfuls, The Mudbugs, Cos-Moore (DJ Set), The Living Trees, Jen Rock, David Yates, Karla Diller, Austin Harris and Charis Hickson (a co-founder/promoter of the event), The Continental Waylays, Amythyst Phillips, Susan Lachman, Andy Donnovan,  Adam Lawson, A La Carte, A Great Disaster, and believe it or not... more to be announced.   Other entertainment provided will be Two Full Body-Paint Models, Mimes, Live Art, a Silent Auction, an Expo Village as well as many Door Prizes.
This event provides an opportunity for the synthesis of entertainment and extensive education through the sharing of minds, crafts, and heirloom knowledge between all ages and demographics. Join the ranks of {insert people} for a night of community learning and togetherness, in which a personal passport will help you to navigate your way through rooms and tables of progressive information and imaginative thought. Later in the night, this passport will become your very own raffle ticket, entering you to win a wealth of prizes.

About the JC Bike Party/Bike Kitchen and the Mission

The Little City Bike Collective was established the first of this year to encourage the use of a fun, healthy, and sustainable means of transportation as well as making an effort to keep riders safe and bikes road ready.  We intend to meet a growing demand for this mode of transportation and recreation with open arms.  No Bike, No Problem!  LCBC will be providing a variety of bike frames and parts which have been generously donated by all aspects of the community so if you don’t have a bike don’t fret, just build your own.  Through the process of recycling old or unused bikes we are not only helping those in need but we will be supplying a demand for inexpensive transportation, the reduction of waste, and the promotion of bike safety.  By bringing the community together we will help the whole of Johnson City.
