BIKE CULTURE, BOTANY AND PHOTOGRAPHY

Art-tea therapy session

FREE EVENT

Saturday, October 26 12-3pm

415 I st Arcata, CA 95521

We are delighted to extend an invitation for you to join us for a bike ride, Botany guided walk, and photo nature session. This event will emphasize observation, community engagement, and mobility. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in discussions about bicycle culture and collaboratively develop a fanzine that incorporates art, photography, poetry, botany, ecology, and cycling. The route will take us along Goudini´ni (Arcata) streets, concluding with a journey to the forest.

This publication aims to explore significant themes such as care, autonomy, and cultural identity within the cycling community, as well as the importance of enhancing safety for pedestrians and cyclists through interactive activities. In this initiative, we will explore the idea of reimagining transportation more inclusively and equitably.

We will have tools to adjust your bike, tea and art supplies.

Specialist guest: Christa Rose Unger, (Biologist/ Botanist) Owner of Blessed Earth Herbals

Learn with Christa about local plants and their uses, sustainable foraging practices, and how plants can support community resilience and health.

Bike rides are a collaboration between the Northcoast Environmental Center, Moon Cycles and Coalition for Responsible Transportation Priorities. Rides are paid for by a Whale Tail grant from the California Coastal Commission.

Bike maintenance and picnic to the Clam Beach

Saturday 8/24

11 am -2 pm

Bring your bike and share stories of turning the wheels of revolution, taking action, and committing to riding to our freedom.

Let’s talk about our loved bikes and participate in the FLAT FIX WORKSHOP.

FREE ACCESS

Anyone over 14, and anyone under 14 would just need the presence of an adult.

11am: Learn how to fix a flat tire, or just tinker on your bike. We have tools available for you to use, learn, or share skills.

12pm: Ride to Clam Beach for a picnic! We’ll have some food and drinks, but feel free to bring your own, too.

Register here.

(You don’t need to register for this ride, but doing so makes it easier for us to know how much food to bring for the picnic.)

This ride is intended for all experience levels, even those who are curious about biking and maybe don’t do it as much as they’d like. We understand that not everyone is comfortable using bikes as transportation and it’s our goal to create spaces for folks to develop a cycling habit. It’s easier (and more fun!) if we do it together. All skill levels are very welcome.

Bike Justice Humboldt rides are possible through a Whale Tail grant from the California Coastal Commission. Rides are a collaboration between the NEC, Coalition for Responsible Transportation Priorities and Moon Cycles bike shop.
