Returning Sponsor Spotlight: Rivendell Bicycle Works and the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition

We're huge devotees of Walnut Creek-based Rivendell Bicycle Works! From their beautifully crafted fleet of bicycles, unique philosophy and their quaint Bike, Book & Hatchet brick-and-mortar shop that's straight out of a Wes Anderson film set, RBW is the place to go if you're a commuter, bike camper, adventurer, randonneur, off-roader or an all-around passionate cyclist. Thanks to Rivendell for sponsoring the Sweep again this year! They've donated Purist water bottles, tons of caps, visors, buttons, patches and a gorgeous Sackville Saddlesack that can easily carry a small load of groceries back from the store!

The non-profit advocacy group, the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, has been working hard on behalf of SF cyclists for over 40 years. They recently invited me and one of our Sweep co-organizers, Kacey, to talk about the Sweep at their monthly coffee club gathering for women. I think we were able to inspire some women to volunteer or participate! (Their next event will celebrate their one year anniversary on October 22nd.) SFBC has also donated (2) memberships (good for one year) -- so thank you for your support!
