Band of Bicycles hosts the Pleasant Revolution NYC Bicycle Music Festival Thursday May 20th

May ’10
20

Kipchoge and the Ginger Ninjas and The Pleasant Revolution Tour passes through NYC, en route  to Europe where they are biking and playing bike powered music through 15 cities.

Thursday May 20th we will roll with them and transform the streets, bridges, and parks of NYC into an off the grid sustainable concert venue. Start at 3rd Ward for Sunset Ride.  We will leave at 5:30pm prompt.

Potluck BBQ to follow, 7pm @ 3rd Ward, 195 Morgan Ave.  Receive up to the date location information via text we will be rolling from 3rd Ward.

We first discovered the awesomeness of bike powered music through Kipchoge and the Ginger Ninjas at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Co.  They are a part of a group musicians who are committed to touring as sustainably as possible and who call themselves The Pleasant Revolution.  They travel mostly by bike and take public transportation whenever possible.  Using bike powered generators to create electricity for their sound system, they play concerts anywhere they want and transform unsuspecting street corners and big beautiful beaches into impromtu dance parties. 
It’s awesome!
