Welcome to our blog!
A bunch of Brisbanite bicycle-cruising enthusiasts have got together to see if we can start our very own Bicycle Music Festival (BMF) in Brisbane.
If you have never heard of this festival and are interested in seeing what its all about, check out this link to the BMF website in San Francisco (where this popular event originated) - http://www.bicyclemusicfestival.com/
For a quick insight, below is an extract from the BMF website. With the support of the BMF team in San Francisco we are keen to see this event up and running in Australia... and would love your thoughts/ ideas/ involvement!!!
The mission of the Bicycle Music Festival is to promote sustainable culture in general and bicycle culture in particular, by physically engaging and immersing our community in the magic of bike culture, and cultivating and nurturing a network of local sustainable musicians, through our staging of free, community participatory, bicycle-based music events.
The Bicycle Music Festival is the largest 100% bicycle-powered music festival in the world. The free, all-day (and late into the night) event takes place annually in San Francisco, California and is starting to spread internationally.
The Bicycle Music Festival features: a 2000 watt pedal-powered PA system, as many as 15 bands, multiple festival stops, outrageous Critical Mass-style bicycle party caravans between festival stops, and zero use of cars or trucks.
With its completely bike-haulable stage, the event is packed up and deployed numerous times: staged sequentially at different public parks and also on a moving “Live On Bike” stage which rolls down city streets.
