10th annual El Torreon Bicycle Swap Meet
Sunday, July 25, 2010
6:00am – 4:00pm
31st & Gillham, Kansas City. MO
Julyapalooza is an event being put on by the Midwest Historical and Genealogical Society on Saturday, July 10th from 11:00am to 3:00pm at 1203 N. Main (right on the Midtown bike path). We’ve been asked to display our vintage bicycles along side vintage cars and motorcycles. There will also be a genealogy book and materials sale, tours of their library, a hot dog vendor and hourly drawings.
This event is for antique bikes only. I need to know in advance if you are participating. Only bikes that are 60s vintage or older, restored, original (or as close to original that the general public wouldn’t know the difference). The bikes will be displayed outside and yes it will probably be hot. I’ll provide shade and cold drinks. You may also just drop your bike(s) off and go hide somewhere cool. We do need a couple people to stay and answer questions. This event will give us a chance to spread bicycle love to a new audience, presumably those interested in history.
Let me know if you would like to participate and I’ll fill you in on the details.

Downtown Hutchinson is about to gain a few more residents.
Not business or people-type residents – but brightly colored bicycles that will be available for community use and sharing.

Tomorrow is National Bike To Work Day. Should have posted this earlier. So much going on it’s hard to keep track of it all. Thanks to Kristen fir the reminder.

Tomorrow is Bike to Work Day. The weather is shaping up to be a great day, so you?ll have no excuse to miss this opportunity to ride in style. Tell your boss you might be a little late in the morning because you are making an effort to lift the stigma that Wichita is one of the worst cities to commute by bicycle.
