WE LOVE BIKES

Sponsored by Saint Luke’s Hospital and the Shoppes at the Main Street Commons, the We Love Bikes campaign, offers registration cards through bicycle retailers and the Bethlehem Bicycle Cooperative to bicycle owners, to sign up their bikes with CAT. The cards are printed by Saint Lukes Hospital. The $500 shopping spree at the Main Street Commons is put up by Summit Property Management.

The We Love Bikes card is filled out by the bicycle owner, who automatically becomes a member of CAT. The lower portion of the card is returned to CAT. There is a place on the card to include a description of the bike and the serial number. If the bike is lost or stolen, CAT can circulate the description to 34 police departments and 9 full service bike shops to maximize the chance of recovery.

Also on the We Love Bikes card is a place to suggest placement of a Share-the-Road sign.

The top half of the card stays with the bike owner and includes the five big safety tips:

Wear Your Helmet

Look left, right, then left again before entering traffic.

Ride the same direction as other vehicles.

Stop for red lights and stop signs.

Be predictable and visible.
