To be held at R+E Cycles Bike and Pike drawing Tickets are just $15 donation each and it's all for a great cause! 100% of the proceeds for this drawing benefit Food Lifeline here in Seattle. Thanks to your generosity, last year we raised enough funding to pay for over 10,000 meals to be distributed around the Northwest. Prizes you could win:
Come join us for great pizza, coffee, bicycles, and a chance to converse one-on-one with some of Seattle's cycling gurus at The Seattle Bike and Pike Expo of 2011. At R+E Cycles, we love Seattle, and the small companies that actually produce their products here. In 2008, I asked our friends Charles and Rose Ann at Pike Brewing Company in Downtown Seattle if they would like to put on an event here in Seattle with other Seattle based entrepreneurs (and personalities) and they were just as excited about it as we were.
The flavor of Seattle Small Business is unique, and sometimes gets diluted when an event gets too overwhelmed with big firms that have unlimited advertising budgets. We thought it would be great to put on a smaller event that showcased unique Seattle companies and their products, while at the same time raise money for a local charity. Over the last two years, the Bike and Pike has been a great success! We've raised thousands of dollars for Food Lifeline here in Seattle, and had lots of fun doing it. Want to go to an event this February that's bicycle oriented and highly focused on Seattle based companies? The 2011 Seattle Bike and Pike Expo is for you! Here's some of what's lined up:
R+E Cycles will raffle off several frame sets, including a Full Navigator, a Shiftless Frame and Fork, and an OX Platinum Frame and fork set of your choosing! Come by and see all of our new paint jobs, see the shiftless track frames we've built, and pick our brains about your next bike, repaint or upgrade. We will be giving complete tours of the frame building and painting facilities so you can see where Rodriguez bicycles are made, and meet those who make them. The proceeds from our frame set drawing will go to benefit Food Lifeline. The Pike Brewing Company will be on-site to fill you in on some of the finest Seattle beer you've ever tasted from noon till 5PM on Saturday Caffe Vita Coffee Roasting Co. will be serving up FREE samples of their exceptional coffee, and representatives will be on hand to answer questions and recommend the right coffee for you. Author and Adventure Cyclist Willie Weir will be here from noon until 4PM to answer all of your questions regarding self supported bicycle touring/traveling. He'll also have his books on hand for sale throughout the weekend, and will donate a book for the raffle to benefit Food Lifeline. Inferno Catering will be firing up some of the best wood-fired pizza you've ever tasted, all day Saturday. You can buy by the slice, or the whole pizza.
Author and Cycling personality Bill Thorness will also be in attendance, as will as the entire staff here at R+E Cycles.
Food Lifeline will benefit greatly from your donations at the 2011 Bike and Pike Expo. In 2009, we raised enough for over 8,000 meals to be distributed to local area food banks, and in 2010 that number was over 10,000 meals! We hope to raise a record number this year. All in all, February 12th will be a fun gathering of locally owned Seattle businesses showcasing some real (and really unique!) products and services made nearby. We're happy to be a part of the Northwest, and proud that the proceeds of this event will stay right here in the Northwest through Food Lifeline. Come and join us for Great Seattle bicycles, beer, coffee, pizza and conversation for an event that will benefit all Seattle!
