Bike riders and advocates, messengers and occasional riders, men and women of all ages converged on the night of Friday the 13th for Providence’s first Roller Races, a benefit for Recycle-a-Bike. With upwards of a hundred people cheering, each racer chose his or her opponent and faced off for a 500m sprint, lasting at best 22 seconds. 42 racers, one broken bike, and multiple raffles later, top times in women’s and men’s raced for the finals.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support our community bike collective, thank you to all of our wonderful sponsors, and thanks to all the volunteers who helped make Recycle-a-Bike the true winner of the evening!

If you missed this one, don’t worry; there will be more in the future. If you’d like to help make this happen, Recycle-a-Bike is always in need of new volunteers. Stay tuned; spring is coming.

Recycle-a-Bike and The Steel Yard are on vacation from 2/21 through 3/1. That means no Wrenching Wednesday on 2/25. We’ll see you  in a couple of weeks when there’s a little less snow on the ground.

What’s new?
