The Bicycle Defense Fund raised $4K on Saturday night (and into Sunday morning) at its first bash for legal defense fund dollars. I volunteered to assist with party prep and helped to man the kegs for a few hours. A tough job to be sure, all that foam that turned into beer had to be disposed of and I helped take care of that problem. Most people that came rode their bikes and seemed incredibly thirsty for the thirst quenching properties of beer. Needless to say, my thumb was very tired on Sunday from pouring and I had to go switch to work the TV remote in order to watch The Masters.
I also did a lap around Manhattan on Saturday before the party in the beautiful spring weather that seems to have come from nowhere. I have the sunburned forearms to prove it. Bookmark the Bicycle Defense Fund link, there will be plenty more opportunities to support the cause if you wish . . . from near or far.
