Come Thru for Chew Fundraiser
June 17th
4pm - 11pm
Come to an exciting FUNDRAISER for DANNY CHEW, creator of the DIRTY DOZEN BICYCLE RACE here in Pittsburgh, and lovingly known as The MILLION MILE MAN for his goal of riding a million miles on a bicycle in his lifetime. He was paralyzed last Fall in an accident while riding, when he suddenly passed out.

The event will be held in the large parking lot in front of the World's Largest Bicycle Museum, BICYCLE HEAVEN, on the North Side. There will be tours of this massive historical collection throughout the event, and JOHNNY ANGEL'S MUSIC MUSEUM, is nearby and open until 6pm.
