Bikeology Festival Tomorrow!

June 18, 2010 in Bike Month Events, Information, bikeology by Brian Dupuis | No comments

Tomorrow – Saturday June 19th-  the big day – Bikeology 2010!

Come on out to Beaver Hill Park tomorrow (105 street and Jasper ave) afternoon (12-4pm) to take part in a celebration of all things Bike. Whether you’re looking for information, music and performances, or swag from our affiliates, or just an opportunity to mingle with other members of Edmonton’s growing cyclist community, you’ll find something for you there tomorrow. And the weather’s looking wonderful as well!

The exciting part this year is that the streets will come alive around the Beaver Hill Park area. 102 ave will be closed for Park(ed). This runs through the Downtown Farmers’ market – a nice destination in its own right – and connects to Churchill Square, where the ‘Rock the Square’ festival (a free local rock concert)  is being held. If any one of these interests you, why not walk or bike through all of them as a wonderful way to spend a Saturday?

Bike Month in Edmonton is only a month away so we’re going to be ramping things up here.

Bikeology 2007

June 24, 2007 in Bike Month Events, bikeology by Paul Turnbull

Well we’re back from Bikeology which from all appearances was the biggest one ever. Molly’s off at the the volunteer dinner while I hauled the kids home, fed them and put them to bed.

I have around 300 pictures for the day but I doubt I’ll try to upload them until Monday when I get to work. My DSL connection keeps dropping regularly for 10 to 30 seconds and I’m afraid the upload will get mangled.

A lot of the pictures burst mode shots of the guys stunting off ramps, rocks, benches and any other raised surface they could find. Camilla apparently thought this was very cool as she drew it extensively when she got home:
