My name is Richard Rodriguez I was born in the Bronx, NY and I started Reading Classic Schwinn Bike Club in 2013. There was one here in Reading, but they broke up before I could join so a friend of mine Pancho & I decided to do a new bike club.
We have about 20 members now and sometimes we have more off and on. We try to do things in the neighborhoods, for example, we ride to schools or parks to give out backpacks and school supplies. We also have done cuts for kids where we give out tickets for haircuts before school starts. We’ve been in two music videos, that was a nice experience. We participated in the Afro Latino, Puerto Rican, X-mas, & Halloween Parades. We have also been to Art Gallery shows to raise money where a raffle off a nice classic bike.
As members of the bike club, we have meetings once a month and we pay dues to help with what we have to buy for example like the raffle tickets, water, our tees-shirts, and hoodies. We try to get into different activities to keep us motivated and in shape.
So be on the lookout The READING CLASSIC SCHWINN BIKE CLUB might be coming to a neighborhood near you.
