BikeDFW wants to wish everybody a HAPPY NEW YEAR! We hope your 2014 was filled with fantastic bike rides and that your 2015 is filled with many more. Speaking of 2014, we'd love to give you a small recap of some of the things your donations helped us accomplish this past year:

Last weekend, BikeDFW, was asked to share a tent at the Big D Bicycle Village, which was part of the Untapped Festival in Dallas. Although it wasn't a bicycle event, it would be attended by plenty of like-minded, bike friendly people.

BikeDFW will be at this year's Untapped Festival on November 1. If you are coming to this great event, you should stop by our table at the Big D Bicycle Village. Tickets are still available.
