Thanks for Supporting Community Bikes! – A big crowd of CBC’ers joined the May 16 happy hour at sponsor Random Row Brewing Company for the fundraiser, held in cooperation between Nest Realty and CBC, for the benefit of 501(c)3 Charlottesville Community Bikes.  Including the matching funds provided by CBC leadership, CBC members contributed a significant chunk towards the $2,500 that was raised during the 2 hour event. A big thank you to everyone who participated in the fun, and supported Community Bikes’ efforts to promote environmentally-sound transportation, recycle bicycles, and make cycling accessible.
