Spotlight on Safety - Spring Programs and Pointers

Piscitello Law, a Philadelphia-based firm who specialize in bike crash injuries and litigation will be the main presenters at a general meeting for club members April 18, at 7:00 p.m. in the Farm & Home Center on Arcadia Road in Lancaster.

The presentation will focus on bike law and safety. More information about the law group can be found on their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/PiscitelloLaw/

Interested members who want to attend should notify John Mullineaux at safety@lancasterbikeclub.net

Initially, the meeting was to be opened first to club members, but since the meeting’s advertisement on GoogleGroups, non-members may attend. If you know of a non-member who will attend, please provide the person’s name and contact information to John.
