Pump Track 9-11am Ventura Park
If you’re coming to Pedal Nation, stop by the Filmed by Bike booth to say hi and for a chance to enter to win free festival passes. We’ll also have those hot new posters with custom-made bike part typography and our stickers.
So, I need a pass in order to get in and maybe win a pass?
Come to my bike move! It’ll be fun & kid-friendly, with donuts in the am & homebrew & food after. Drop-in friendly, as we’re only moving a block!! FB page here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=171478536235328
Neat way to screen out and miss the assistance of non-FB riders — link to a Facebook log-in instead of a page. Nice blog, though, seriously. Have a fun move!
