Walking/Cycling Festival of Arts and Culture

Ah, bike month. Now's the time I start hearing about all the nifty events that'll be transpiring while the City pretends to care about bikes for a few weeks. I went to this last year and had a ball. The highlight was filming silt-walkers in the bicycle/walking parade at eye level from a tall-bike. You don't get to do that kinda thing every day...

When: Sat, May 17, 3pm – 6pm
Where: Carver Museum and Cultural Center, 1165 Angelina St.
