Bike Pirates will be hosting an extra-special event this coming Friday, May 1!

Bike Pirates is a sponsor of the upcoming summer program Charlie’s Freewheels, a “Bike building mentorship program for youth from the Regent Park community”, and will be hosting two fund-raising and awareness-raising events on their behalf.

The first will be a screening of “Rad”, a film about some totally awesome bmx riders from the eighties – how can you lose! There will be snacks and drinks by donation, and as usual the event will be $5/PWYC at the door. All proceeds will go toward the summer program.
Check out Rad here:

Door at 7:30, film at 8pm

– In memory of Charles Princep, this collective is starting a pilot project to teach bike- mechanics, maintenance, riding skills, and love to young people from Charlie’s community. To learn more about the project please visit www.charliep. –
