If you have ever been on one of the area’s many great group bike rides, each one, including East Side Bike Club, has a group of volunteers dedicated to insuring the ride is a safe one for everybody. These folks use their bikes and themselves to block intersections so the group ride can stay safe and together. In bike circles, this is referred to as corking the intersection so traffic flow is stopped and the bike ride can safely pass. We’re no different. We could use some willing folks to help our rides prosper
The East Side Bike Club is looking for some additional bike enthusiasts to join us on our rides starting in May as “Corkers.” We always leave from and return to Martin Luther King Park. If you’d like to get involved, ride with some great people, and see more of the city, contact our Program Coordinator, Chris Lawson at 716-316-5341.
