Pedal Power

Bicycling is getting a lot of attention these days thanks to the high cost of gas, but did you know pedal power can even help fight AIDS? ACS has not one but two bike-themed special events coming up: the Empire State AIDS Ride in August and the brand new Big Kahuna Ride in September. ESAR is a week-long bike ride across the state, going from Niagara Falls to New York City, or 560 miles if you're keeping track. I'm tired just posting about it; I can't imagine actually riding it. But our incredibly dedicated Buffalo Wings Bicycle Team will once again represent ACS in the Ride, and fortunately they're in much better shape than I am. A few weeks later the Big Kahuna Ride will mark the first US appearance of the Big Bike, a specially built bicycle that seats 30 people. I can't wait to see this thing riding around downtown Buffalo. It's going to be unreal! As always, you can check the ACS site for details or leave questions in the comments below.
