On January 3rd 2010, Bikes Across Borders will be riding to deliver more bicycles to Pueblo Bicicletero in Monterrey, Mexico.

It will take approximately 10 days to reach the Texas/Mexico border, where we will be met by members of Pueblo Bicicletero to ride the remaining 3-4 days to Monterrey.

If you would like to participate, please email bikesacrossborders@riseup.net.
Anyone is welcome to join this year's caravan, but the departure date is fast approaching, so it is necessary that you have a bike that is ready to ride and be donated.

If you want to learn more about Bikes Across Borders and our next bike-caravan to Mexico, stop by Wheatsville Coop this Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th between noon and 4:00pm. We will be there sharing information and answering questions
