Local bike community personality, filmmaker, and self-described “bike culturist” Reverend Phil Sano plans to ride his bike to the West Coast Convergence for Climate Action which starts tomorrow in Skamokawa, Washington.
The event is billed as, “6 days of low-impact living and high-impact action.”
Reverend Phil plans to leave on his 83 mile ride at night to bring attention to the issues being addressed at the event (and so he doesn’t miss the final show of popular bikey punk band Show Me The Pink at Holocene).
Reverend Phil says, “People are sick of waiting for an answer from above…We want to solve these problems now. Learning and sharing what we already know will go a long way towards creating a sustainable future.”
At the event, Reverend Phil will host a daily “Kickass Biking” workshop that will focus on some of his tactics used to stay healthy and active while biking among car culture.
“I’ve never done anything quite like this. Biking at night can be dangerous so I guess I’ll have to buy some lights. But I think they
are gonna feed me when I get there so that is nice.”
The Convergence for Climate Action runs through August 14th. For more info check out ClimateConvergence.org.
