PLIKE!
verb [plīk], pliked, plik·ing
to pick up litter while biking.

How it works:

  • Gather at Bike Newport HQ between 10-11am, collect cleanup tools, enjoy local treats, register for prizes.
  • Bike around town, to the beach, or to a park to pick up litter.
  • Bring your litter back to Bike Newport HQ in your backpack. We will sort & weigh all collected litter. 
  • Everyone must return by 2pm latest.

What you need to bring:

  • Your bike, helmet, and a backpack or pannier.

Would you rather participate on foot? You can plalk (pick up litter while walking) or plog (pick up litter while jogging)

What we will provide:

  • Cleanup supplies: gloves, reusable bags to line your backpack, map of heavily-littered areas
  • Fuel! Coffee & pastries
  • Water-filling station

Please Note:

  • Go at your own pace – this is not a race!
  • Masks are required. 
  • We will ensure COVID compliance with hand sanitizing and 6-ft social distancing.
  • If you don’t have a bike and would like one, consider getting one from Bike Newport’s Adopt-A-Bike program a few weeks ahead of time. Contact Allyson (allyson@bikenewportri.org) to learn more!
