Two Fixed Gear Events for Easter Weekend

Two cycling events in San Francisco worth checking out this weekend....
First is the Macaframa race and reception benefiting the fund for injured bicycle messengers. That is tonight.

The second event, which celebrates that original brakeless fixed gear machine, the Big Wheel. The event known as BYOBW (Bring Your Own Big Wheel) has contestants doing some serious hill bombing on Big Wheels. (2010 video edit below) Easter Sunday, April 24th, 2011 20th and Vermont Street San Francisco, CA 3pm. Free to enter, but you MUST sign a waiver to compete!

Both these events are for "fixed only".

Babes in Bikeland 4

Little over a week away (Sat. Sept. 18) is the Babes in Bikeland all-female bike race and ride. Soma is proud to again throw down some prizes for it. This is the fourth year for this Minneapolis-based event. Last year there were over a 100 participants. Any type of bike is welcome. If you're not the racing type, I am sure they are looking for volunteers to help, too.

Speaking of volunteers, our hearts go out to those affected by gas line explosion in San Bruno, the first responders and the local volunteers. Take cares, yo.
