What started as a simple meet up of our message board readers has quickly morphed into a fundraising effort to support a local cyclist who was attacked last week by a car driver. Bike Pittsburgh is coordinating the effort and local businesses have been incredibly generous, donating a growing list of prizes to raffle.
All proceeds will go towards helping cover the cyclist’s medical bills. 
Join us tonight!:
OTB, Over the Bar Bicycle Cafe
2518 E Carson St
starting at 7pm
(or the second wave which will be arriving after the showing of Life Cycles)
Thanks to OTB for hosting, recruiting so many donations, and for saving a keg of East End Brewery’s Pedal Pale Ale for us!
Raffle Prizes!
Raffle tickets will be for sale: 1 ticket for $2 and 3 for $5. And the drawing will be at 9:30pm.
