I don't know about you but, as a cyclist in London, I can't help but notice the explosion of fellow two-wheeled commuters and travellers. I've even begun to experience bicycle traffic jams on my route to work.
This, however, is not to denigrate such things as more dashing velocipedes on our streets but to celebrate and revel in this happy happenstance and pedalled pleasure...
In recognition of this, I thought I'd tell you about The Pleasant Revolution. They have been taking epic, not to mention heroic, bicycle tours of Northern and Central America and are currently on their beautifully slow-paced way to our shores as they pedal across Europe.
Not only this, but since the very literal moniker for their journey would indicate, The Pleasant Revolution Bicycle Music Festival Tour: Europe 2010 are carrying a 1200 watt pedal-powered PA system and a motley crew of outstanding musicians with them.
Scheduled to arrive in this city of Faster, Bigger, More on the 5th June they will be taking a brief hiatus from the trip to show the ways of Slower, Less and Quality.
They will be holding a series of events as they move around East London, all of them for FREE and featuring bands including The Ginger Ninjas, CelloJoe and The Genie.
They have released their schedule as follows...
Saturday 5th June
9:00 - 10:00 Look Mum No Hands Bicycle Cafe - Smallish venue mainly for the press.
11:00 - 13:00 London Fields - Huge loads of space and lots of Bikes
14:00 - 16:00 Stepping Stones Farm Stepney
17:00 - 19:00 Surrey Docks City Farm
21:00 - late Pangea Project Stamford Hill
Sunday June 6th
12:00 - 19:00 Camden Green Fair Regents Park
It'll cost you nada and I hereby offer my own personal guarantee that the sun will be shining. I know it will because I won't be working and me and the guy with his hat on up there have an 'understanding'...
What excuse do you have? Join the Revolution...
