helped the City of Dublin co-host the Flat Tire Repair Clinic and Bike to Market events. REI
Dublin was a collaborating organizer of the West Dublin BART Bike to Work Day Energizer
Station and co-hosted the event, in addition to hosting the Bike Donation Drive event. In
December 2011 Valley Spokesmen Bicycle Touring Club donated funds to the City of Dublin for
the bicycle safety program; a portion of the funds were used to purchase bicycle helmets
distributed at the Flat Tire Repair Clinic and Bike to School event to youth who were in need of
properly fitting helmets.
