JUST DO IT: A bike race ... with benefits!

On Saturday non-profit cycling organization Neighborhood Bike Works is throwing The Works: Vol. 1, a race/ride that will help fund their mission to promote the many benefits of cycling to urban youth. Besides reveling in the good karma that comes from helping a stellar cause, riders can take advantage of other awards, such as prizes for reaching various checkpoints and quickness.

Oh yeah, and there's an after party.

The Works Benefit Boogie at Danger Danger Gallery (5013 Baltimore Ave.) boasts music from five bands (The Flying Eyes, The Shakes, Skin Cells, Pinelands, Sour Mash) and two DJs (No Arms and Half-breed) to dance to after you bring your exhausted biker body across the finish line. Karaoke will be available as well. There will be a $10-15 charge at the door, but racers get in for free, so join the race and reap the benefits.

Race: Sat., May 14, 2 p.m., $10 to race, Washington Square Park, Seventh & Walnut streets, theworksphilly.wordpress.com.

It incorrectly states that the race is free. It will cost $10 to race to participate and racers get into the afterparty for free.

Thanks for the write up and I'll see y'all tomorrow!!!!
