Thanks Bicycle Music Festival Fans, Crew, and Bands, for a fantastic Road To BMF opener

Posted by fossilfool

In the true spirit of the Bicycle Music Festival, we pedal powered five bands, went LiveOnBike with a scratch guitarist, fed and quenched sweaty pedalers with tea, kombucha, pies hauled in by bike and a local street chef, and featured a contortionist, a unicyclist, a bootleg beer garden, and a quartet of breakdancers, putting us squarely on the Road to this year's SF Bicycle Music Festival.

Maker Faire is back May 22 and 23 at San Mateo Fairground. Rock The Bike is aiming to make the Pedal Powered Stage event more fun this year and once again host the Dolores Park to Maker Faire Social Ride starting at 9AM on Saturday May 22. 

Sunday Streets going huge in 2010.

This year, all Sunday Streets days will go 10-3 instead of 10-2. The extra hour is key as it will help the Rock The Bike crew sleep in a bit and still bring out the Pedal Powered Stage. Many thanks for this compassionate update to one of our favorite events.  Read More »

Antioquia is on Tour to Santa Cruz

Posted by fossilfool

Ran into Antioquia on my way to work. The band got seriously inspired by riding around San Francisco with us at Bicycle Music Festival this year and are now on their way to Santa Cruz on Xtracycle SUB's. It's a shake-down tour, getting used to being bike-touring musicians. In the future they're hoping to have their own pedal-powered PA system for live shows. Here's one of their videos below from performing at the Bicycle Music Festival in June.
