Closed Saturday May 1st for May Day
Sorry for any inconvenience, but the shop will be closed Saturday May 1, 2010 in honor of May Day, the International Workers’ Day.
Please join us instead for the May Day Roll:The Baltimore Labor History Bicycle Tour.
This guided tour of Baltimore’s rich and varied labor heritage will begin in Jones Falls Valley, site of the city’s first intensive industrial development, and will circle through east and southeast Baltimore, visiting little-known factories, union organizing halls, backstreets and conflict zones where the lives and legacies of working men and women were forged.
Your host will be BREW contributor Mark Reutter, historian and author of Making Steel: Sparrows Point.
• Tour begins at **8:30 a.m** (please note time change) at Baltimore Bicycle Works (corner of Trenton and Falls Rd. one block south of North Ave. and one block west of Maryland Ave.). Come early and make sure your bike is shipshape.
• We will stop for lunch in Greektown (participants are responsible for their own meals).
• The tour will end about 3 p.m. at Baltimore Bicycle Works.
–Please sign the waiver form before starting the tour.
–Be sure to bring a bike lock and helmet!
$10 suggested donation (no fellow workers will be turned away for lack of funds).
Hope to see you there!
