Bike Gang, Let’s Ride.

Bicycling is a big thing at our office, the majority of us who live in the city bike to work everyday. Some of use even cycle competitively, and there’s a whole group of us who bike to and from Philly’s best bars on a regular basis. That’s why I thought these two things would be great to share.

First, September 14th is Commerce Bank’s Bike Philly ride. I think a bunch of us should sign up and ride as a crew. Maybe we could make some t-shirts or bandannas. If you’re interested in riding let me know in the comments. There are 10, 20, 35, and 50 mile rides. The 10 mile just goes through center city and looks to be a lot of fun. It’s only $40 to register, and it’s limited to 5,000 participants, so we should get on it soon.

The other bit of bicycle fun I wanted to share is the trailer for the movie Made In Queens. Made In Queens was recently profiled on Creative Review’s blog, be sure to check out the great packaging and promo materials. Made In Queens profiles a group of Trinidadian teens living in Queens who customize BMX bikes with giant bass thumping sound systems. The film is shot beautifully by the team Randall Stevens. Hopefully this film will make its way around to the Philly Film Festival.
