L<\/span>ightning Cycle Dynamics<\/strong> <\/a>has given authority\u00a0 to our first Davis NBG Fest<\/strong> by donating their Lightning Phantom<\/strong> recumbent \"2014-large-2\"bike to the raffle we are holding to make our relaunch of the National Bicycle Greenway in Davis, the Bike Capital of America<\/strong>, possible. The first of what we know will be many exciting prizes, \u00a0the Phantom is the baby brother of the world’s fastest bike, the Lightning F-40.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Enter our Raffle HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/span>!!<\/p>\n

A<\/span>nd what could be a more fitting way to help us receive Amy Oleynik<\/strong> and her dad who will have ridden our\u00a0 route on 19th century HiWheel bikes? In following the 1884\u00a0 route of the legendary, Thomas Steven<\/a>s<\/strong>, as closely as they can, they\u00a0 will be using our route at BikeRoute.com<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 all the way to Chicago.\u00a0 Already, Amy has begun blogging the build up at BikeRoute.com\/amy<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"IMG_3392\"B<\/span>esides welcoming Amy back to Davis, where she works at the university, our festival, set for Oct 22,\u00a0 will use live music and other activities to bring people to the prize give aways (top dollar\u00a0 recumbent bicycles, weekend getaways, restaurant meals, etc) that will result from the on line raffle and silent auction that will have run all summer long.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I<\/span>n the Davis Commons. at what is the Gateway to Davis, CA, nestled in between massive old growth shade trees and a handsome wall of business storefronts, including participating\u00a0 NBG sponsors, Whole Foods<\/strong> and Hot Italian Pizza Bar<\/strong>, in this its first year this free event will serve as a mechanism to underwrite Martin Krieg’s<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0 return from Ireland. There for almost five years he was a stay at home dad to his son Cayo<\/a>,<\/strong>\u00a0who he wants to bring here to America if this effort hits its goals.<\/span><\/p>\n

I<\/span>t is here that the bulk of this funding will be used for IRS nonprofit and legal\u00a0 filings, for Krieg’s salary and relocation expenses,\u00a0 and for the grant writer who we are hoping will procure the finances needed to monetize the National Bicycle Greenway so that it is a profitable and sustainable public benefit operation. Grant funds will keep the NBG flagship Mayors’ Ride program<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0 before the public with mayoral proclamations that align our Anchor\u00a0 cities<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0 with our effort. This as staff will\u00a0 be created\u00a0 to also sell sponsor positions on associated web pages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

G<\/span>rant funds procured will also be used to create staffing that will sell map placements to businesses on the route that connects our 20\u00a0 SF-DC\u00a0 NBG Anchor Cities. This as it makes these population centers attractive to cyclists and our Greenway welcome and familiar to bike riders all over the world\u00a0 well before they use it<\/span><\/p>\n

S<\/span>igning out route with also the help of sponsored sections will be the goal of our next fund raising drive. It is there that we foresee a crowd funded campaign such as what is made possible by Kickstarter or Indiegogo. But for now we must build a strong foundation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
