Yeah, Bike Week! Isn’t every week? OK, lets give the masses a chance to dive a little deeper into bike culture by marketing our lifestyle a little harder this week. There’s a lot going on and I suggest checking out the Friends of Pathways website for more details www.jhpathways.com. But, there are a couple of events that are most important. Thursday is Bike to work day and we’ll be fielding a team from Victor if anyone wants to join on. Then Thursday night we’ll be heading to Sidewinder’s for the premier of B.I.K.E (don’t ask me what it stands for). Of course that is after the Pedals and Pints ride starting at 6pm from Fitzgerald’s! Check out the review below:

B.I.K.E.
USA 2006 | DV 89 min.
Jacob Septimus and Anthony Howard
Jacob Septimus has directed videos for KRS-one and Mos Def, among many others. Anthony Howard is an award-winning director of fine art films recognized by audiences at festivals and media such as Art Forum. Howard began to make a film about New York’s chapter of the Black Label Bicycle Club and found himself vying to become a member of the group. Black Label is known for living a lifestyle centered on building bikes together, riding together, eating together, and sometimes living together. Black Label is more than just a bike club or a lifestyle – it is life. This is a rare look at a way of life that may challenge your own. Producer Fredric King of
Fountainhead Films presents B.I.K.E. as the first in a series of intimate portraits of New York City’s subcultures, past and present.

Finally, if you ride a mountain bike you should come to the Phillips parking lot on the pass for a morning, afternoon, or whole day of trail building. Yes, it’s your duty.

Sweet - Bike week!
