"Braking the Cycle"
...one promise at a time
 The WAVE Foundation continues to focus on our mission to end domestic violence through education and awareness.  This year, we are introducing our newest program, "Braking the Cycle" ...one promise at a time.  We thank Verizon for their generous support of our program.
The "Braking the Cycle" program features an education/awareness tent at Cycle the WAVE 2015.  This venue provides an opportunity for riders and volunteers to take a stand against domestic violence by choosing one or more specific actions ('promises') to help "Brake the Cycle" of abuse.  Each person who promises to take action will receive a colorful "Braking the Cycle" hair/wrist band and a chance to win a fabulous raffle prize.  Read promises on our new website page here.
Basic Bicycle Roadside Repair Class
Silverdale Cyclery is offering Cycle the WAVE participants and supporters this class to learn more about taking care of your bike, and also learn about terminology for parts and components, how to build a toolkit, and change a tire. 
Fun give-aways and refreshments will be provided! 
Class will be held on Wednesday evening, August 12th, from 6:30-8:00 p.m. 
Please find more information on our blog. 
Silverdale Cyclery is also one of our Women Friendly Bike Shops! 
She Bikes Training Rides 
Cascade Bicycle Club has introduced She Bikes Cascade, a series of inclusive rides, classes, clinics and social events to encourage more women to discover the joys and benefits of biking. 
Lucky for us they have scheduled training rides to get you ready to ride Cycle the WAVE's Little Sister route by event day, September 20th.  These rides are free and scheduled to gradually increase mileage and difficulty. 
You can check our website calendar for information on the She Bikes training rides and others.  Also other She Bikes events can be found on the cascade.org website. 
After Your Ride Enjoy the Feast
If you have ridden CtW before, you know we are famous for serving up the best food on ANY ride in Puget Sound.  And this year we will once again feature Tutta Bella's signature delicious Bietole Marinate - roasted beets, red onion, pistachio, chevre with red wine vinaigrette - at the Finish Line.
For over 11 years Tutta Bella Neapolitan Pizzeria has shared the traditions of Neapolitan cuisine, nourished lives, and made a difference in our communities by participating in events such as Cyle the WAVE.  Celebrate summer and gather soon at one of Tutta Bella's neighborhood locations in Bellevue, Issaquah and Seattle...and please be sure to thank them for supporting Cycle the WAVE for 8 years!
Women Friendly Bike Shops
We are happy to announce and welcome our 2015 Women Friendly Bike Shops.  Please visit the new webpage to see a map of all shops.  We are updating this page often with special WAVE deals, so check back later in August for a complete listing.
In addition to offering customers fabulous service and showing respect for all cyclists, all of these shops provide promotional assistance to CtW and prizes for rider and team fundraising.  Be sure to thank them for their support the next time you visit!
