LiveOnBike.com, a new video blog, is now online, but don’t wait for the video from this year’s BMF.LiveOnBike.com compiles the best videos from this amazing new art form. We encourage others from the Bike Music community to submit new videos. If you love LiveOnBike, spread the word by by posting this link. Help us keep and grow the LiveOnBike performance movement by riding safely and keeping our group as tight as possible. Spreading out causes our ride to take longer to cross major intersections and MUNI lines. This has been the major concern of the police we’ve been meeting this spring and summer. Plus staying tight helps us establish more of a performance energy.

| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 6PM: An amazing night venue: LoCura, Manicato, The Nerv, and The Getback to rock Showplace Triangle. Showplace (map link) is the largest of the city’s popular Pavement To Parks temporary parks. The whole point of these mini-parks is to provide fresh, new, inspiring public spaces. Let’s show ‘em how it’s done. Performer links: Manicato The father/son frontmen in this reggae / salsa / hip hop act broke it down for BMF in 2008, check the video LoCura Danceable latin and flamenco tinged rock, they’ve played to sold out crowds at the Independent and Great American earlier this year. | video The Nerv Local bike kids gone punk. | video The Getback This talented East Bay hip hop act was a hit on the Pedal Powered Stage at Maker Faire and will close out our festival | video Plus silk climbing with Karlanga Do’s and Don’ts: Leave No Trace! The City has been gracious with BMF this year and has expressed concern about leaving trash and trampling the grass at Showplace Triangle. Don’t litter! Bring blankets! Please bring tips for the performers you dig! Musicians are paid out of audience generosity. Heed and feed the Golden Geese! Pump up your tires and lube the chain today so your bike is ready. See you on Saturday at Bicycle Music Festival! Keep Riding, Fossil Fool ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
