It was a weekend full of Bike Culture.
Friday night we put on our party clothes to ride in the lovely “Heels on Wheels” ride. You might not be able to walk in heels, but you certainly can bike in them. Also on the ride from Vancouver, BC, were the folks behind Momentum Magazine. Momentum discusses the culture of bicycling, not the gear. You can read the whole thing online, find it in some SF bike shops, or subscribe to it.
Saturday we went to the Maker Faire. I’m pleased to report there was much more bike culture was going on at the Maker Faire this year. They published the biking directions from BART, and had valet bike parking (which was really popular). There were several places were one could ride crazy bikes, including the Cyclicide fleet, the Buscycle, and the wooden bike collection. But also striking this year was the amount of bicycle imagery in the craft section: purses with embroidered bikes, prints, t-shirts. We bought a POV light that creates patterns as it rotates for our spokes. Oh, and Momentum had a booth there.
