Crystal City Bike to Work Week

[KLizotte]

They sent an email newsletter on Tuesday about upcoming bike events, plus this:

BIKE TO WORK DAY T-SHIRT PICKUP
WHEN: Thursday, May 29th
11:00 AM to 2:00 PM
WHERE: 1900 Crystal Drive (corner of 18th Street S. and Crystal Drive)
WHAT: The heavy rain on Bike to Work Day made it unsafe for some cyclists to ride in on May 16th. We have set up a location on May 29th for those unable to pick up their t-shirt on Bike to Work Day. We will also be handing out FREE Crystal City Bike Helmets for those who were not able to grab one. If riders are still not able to stop by they can visit the Tour de Fat Bicycle Festival on May 31st for an opportunity to get their BTWD t-shirt.

11-2:00 is nonsensical but at least they are trying. Very nice of them to hand out helmets too! I missed this newsletter so thanks for the posting.

I wonder if they'd give us a helmet even if we showed up in a car? My wife just got a new bike today, but doesn't want to ride it until she has a helmet.

Ooops, I misread my email and thought it was yesterday and went down there. I was too excited to pick up my shirt!

I'd be happy to give you a brand new unused red CaBi helmet. FYI, the CC helmets are black.

Oops, didn't see this until just now. Thanks for the offer! However, given that my wife was having to use all the padding and tighten up all of the straps in order to be able to use even a size small helmet, yours would be unlikely to fit her. (If her head were any smaller, we'd be having to shop the Hello Kitty aisle!) We did manage to get to Crystal City today, and pick up one for her there.
