Tara Winch, Community Outreach Chair, Rotary Club of Old Saybrook, stopped by the Wheelhouse. She shared that our mission aligns with a focus of their philanthropy—children.

We appreciate that the Rotary Club of Old Saybrook chose BFK as a recipient of their generosity this year.

Essex Elementary School (EES) participated in the Walk, Bike & Roll to School Day (WB&R) for the second time on Wednesday, October 7, 2026. This event is organized, in part, by the Safe Routes Program of the Connecticut Department of Transportation (DOT).

BFK was invited to attend WB&R again. This time we had tables at the beginning and end of the event (Ivoryton Green and EES) to conduct quick bike safety checks. We also provided cards with bike safety and maintenance tips and reflective slap bands.

The Essex Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization provided light refreshments for the students and parents. Plus, representatives from Safe Routes, DOT and Pedal Power attended.

Thanks for including BFK!

On September 19th, there were BFK volunteers who participated as riders and as course staff at the 16th Annual Closer to Free Ride out of New Haven. They joined almost 2,000 riders and 800 volunteers for the 16th Annual Closer to Free Ride in Connecticut. The funds raised benefited the Smilow Cancer Hospital and Yale Cancer Center.

Way to go BFK guys and gals and all others who participated!

Wandered into the Westbrook Historical Society today. They have three antique bikes on display, including a penny-farthing. It’s a wonder how anyone could have ridden it and survived. Plus, there was a plethora of interesting Westbrook paraphernalia.


Wishing everyone a safe and happy Labor Day weekend!
