Excuse me — that should be allegedly stolen bicycles.
Serial crime victim Platty Jo dropped in at flea markets in Oakland in Berkeley hoping to spot her stolen wheels.
The Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History “Experience Metal” interactive exhibit this weekend will feature, among many other things, ridable art bikes.
On display is a compilation of tools, appliances, and cargo-carrying devices, all powered by the humble bicycle. Included are such creations as a bike blender, a hacked tandem independent drive, center-pull brake grabber tool, and more. Plus, join us for a gathering of Tallbikes, Freakbikes, Swingbikes and other wild contraptions that you can try out on the Test Track!
Much more is happening as well at the SC MAH:
Elsewhere: San Jose Bike Party TONIGHT; Pedal Fest at Jack London Square Oakland on SATURDAY. I’m sure there’s stuff happening in the Bay Area on Sunday, too.
You have NO EXCUSE for boredom. If you live outside of the Bay Area, you have even less of an excuse: Make this stuff happen in your region!
The Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) held a workshop last night to provide input on the planned November ballot measure to fix local streets, create safer routes to schools, and improve pedestrian facilities.
A guy driving a 12 foot wide flatbed truck down Old San Jose-Soquel Road got stuck behind a pack of cyclists. He stayed behind the cyclists for several miles, but honked when he was finally able to pass. He’s surprised the cyclists reacted with the one finger wave and a water bottle thrown his way and asks how he can keep the peace.
School is out for everybody. With warm temperatures and sunny skies everybody is headed to the beach and the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz. With congested traffic and full parking lots, Santa Cruz is a great place to ride a bike.
This is not a race: No uber crazy bike handling skills necessary! Race Through Time and learn a little history in this bike / walk scavenger hunt sponsored by the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History.
