Soggy bike light giveaway

Luckily the rush for bike lights at tonights' bike light giveaway at the W&OD Trail and Route 7 occurred during the first hour when we were dry. Workers at the nearby car wash place brought about 10 bikes that needed lights. These are just the people we are trying to reach. They use their bikes for transportation at all times during the day and many of the bikes do not have lights. They were very pleased with their new lights.

We installed a total of about 20 lights on bikes over the course of two hours. The rain started during the second hour and we were thankful to be able to get under our newly donated REI canopy to avoid the rain. Thanks to the FABB volunteers who helped out. The light giveaway is made possible by a generous grant from the Transurban and Fluor Community Grant Program.
