Campaigners!

One week to go to the big Ben Sollee show at Blowin’ Smoke Thursday Dec 10 — Ben is a talented artist who in touring on bike this December is focusing attention on sustainable transportation and at his shows raising money for Oxfam America’s efforts to fight poverty. As we have mentioned, he is bringing his cello (that’s right — cello!) on a bike, along with others on bikes with drums and support for the shows. We’ll kick off the night with a rockin’ night ride/Tour of Lights starting at 6pm at Blowin’ Smoke. Music will start around 7:30.

We’ll be having a raffle with awesome stuff including a bike from Quality Bike Shop! More from Chrome messenger bags, Half Moon Outfitters, Timbuk2, PrincetonTek, Native Sunglasses, Eagle Nest Outfitters, and more! Proceeds will benefit Oxfam America and SBC’s new program to outfit the underserved with lights, helmets, and locks! Come, ride, listen, and have fun with us all at Blowin Smoke! If you join us, make sure your bike has at least a white front light, as we follow the law on our rides. Helmets and a rear red light are also strongly encouraged.

Leave us a comment or drop us a line if you are interested in joining them for the ride as they arrive into town next Thursday afternoon as well — we want to give them a great Savannah welcome!
