Bike Move!

Moving across town by bike.

Why rent a truck?  With enough friends and a little ingenuity, move by bike next time!

Although the move happened on Aug. 5, take a look at excerpts from the original announcement cross posted from Community Forklift:  

This Sunday: Get a fun workout, and help a Forklifter

Do you think you could move your entire home via bicycle?

Anthony Reiss does!

Many of you know Anthony, the perpetually cheerful fella who helps customers at the ‘Lift (when he’s not busy fixing bikes at Proteus Bicycles).  He and his wife Jess Reiss are moving – and the whole move will be people-powered!

No, it’s not as crazy as it sounds – they’re only moving about a mile, from their apartment in College Park to a new place, and lots of neighbors are chipping in to help. Why don’t you come along?  It promises to be a fun afternoon jaunt, and a great way to meet other Forklift Fans and local bicyclists.

Says Anthony:  “Thanks to Proteus Bicycles and Community Forklift for supporting our move! Proteus Bicycles facebook page for details. Thank you Forklift-ers!”
