Indicate you are with "Detroit Bikes!/Detroit Synergy"
When: This Friday and Saturday, Feb 8th and 9th
Openings are primarily Friday 1pm - 5pm
30 minutes and one hour shifts
Where: Boll Family YMCA Lobby, downtown Detroit, Broadway @ John R
You do not need to be a YMCA member to bike.
The Challenge: Keep the “eternal flame” of the Radiothon, a light bulb, lit the entire 31 hours of the Radiothon. Detroit Bikes! will be providing "synergy" for the event, especially during business hours on Friday, Feb 8th.
The Catch: The light bulb is powered by a generator hooked up to a set of exercise bikes at the Boll Family YMCA and treadmills throughout downtown Detroit. Riders must continuously pedal the bike in order to add the spirit of donating toward the electricity of warmth for families in SE Michigan! Our drive will spur donations to THAW.
The Reward: Help keep families warm this winter by making a donation! All donations are matched dollar for dollar by THAW's energy partners, including DTE Energy. The proceeds from last year's Radiothon helped thousands of metro Detroit families keep their heat and electricity on during the cold winter months.
Needed: Riders willing to sign up for a shift on the Pedal for Power bike. There is a special need for cyclists from the hours of 1pm and 5pm on Friday, Feb. 8th. Please show support by cycling for available shifts lasting from 30 minute to 1 hour shifts. Detroit Bikes! has been asked to power SE Michigan by supporting and promoting the event.
