Well, its happening – everything you can squeeze into the few days of decent weather before it gets sticky humid and or perhaps regardless of that… because, heck, its still fun to ride in the rain. And we have been quite lucky to have a spell of mild weather, lately.

We are also supporting Bike Pittsburgh to bring you a Bike To Work Day kick off to the Car Free Friday campaign, with a bike commute check-in station (similar to the Energizer Stations in the SF Bay Area) on Friday morning 7-10am at Merson Courtyard on the Carnegie Mellon University campus. We will be coordinating with Thick Bikes to perform quick, light repairs and offering coffee and and bagels to make your morning commute extra fun. Next month (June 18th), we are coordinating with BikePgh again, to host events during the East liberty Car Free Friday, for women, starting in Shadyside and riding through town and finishing with a really neat homemade craft swap at Tazza D’Oro Cafe.

To celebrate the outdoors, Venture Outdoors will coordinate with a bunch of local organizations to bring the public some really fun events, unique exposure to the outdoors, and a host of enthusiastic opportunity. Velomuse is proud to work with this fabulous organization, in bringing the first kids bike rodeo to the park. We’ll be right between the two primary bike paths of Fort Duquesne and Fort Pitt Birdges in Point State Park from 12-4pm on Saturday 22nd of May, set up with some bright pink (not my favorite) boundary tape and some handmade small obstacles for the little ones. If you plan on participating in the PORC ride, please also plan to be present for your child to participate in the bike rodeo.
Here’s both of the flyers:

Lastly, Dirt Fest hosted by Dirt Rag magazine is happening simultaneously this weekend at Raystown Lake. IMBA will be on hand to host a IMBA Pennsylvania Summit. Too bad we can’t have clones so we get to experience everything!
