Yeah boiii!!! The day is gonna be packed to the brim. Defiance, Ohio, Jehovas Fitness, Koalacaust, Animal Spirits (whose booking the show), The Bike Kitchen (doing the Maintenance 101), Cairie Riney (doing the Light 101), The Che Cafe, SD County Bicycle Coalition, and Bic Control are coming together to bring you a slammin' and empowering day!
In case you're overwhelmed by the awesomeness crammed onto the flier, here's what's goin' down in chronological order:
-4:30pm: Bike ride to The Che meets at the Big Fountain at Balboa Park.
-5:30pm: Vegan dinner cooked by the amazing and talented Che chefs and you if you'd like to volunteer!
-6:00pm: Screening of UCSD Alumni Kareem Shehab's Death Pedal 2 during dinner.
-6:30pm: Bike Workshop organized by Bic Control: Bicyclists on the Mic!
Workshop section 1: Maintenance 101 by The Bike Kitchen aka Bikes Del Pueblo.
Workshop section 2: Know Your Rights 101. Ever wonder exactly what it is you're entitled to on the road? The socio-cultural behavior of many motorists pressures cyclists into the gutters. But what does the law say? Knowing your rights can help you ride w/ greater confidence.
Workshop section 3: Make Your Own LED Bike Light 101. This section will be lead by Cairie Riney, UCSD Alumni and one of the founders of UCSD's Interdisciplinary Computing and Arts Cult (ICAC). Cairie has designed her own prototype light and on Monday you can learn how to make one, too.
The San Diego County Bicycle Coalition has very generously provided funding for light materials! The funding will allow us to buy materials for 30 lights. To get a light you must RSVP at BicControl[at]gmail[com]. Hurry up because there are only several lights left for RSVP!
After all that, it's time to dance w/ Koalacaust, Jehovas Fitness, and finally, Defiance, Ohio.
Defiance, Ohio is one of the best live bands in the history of punk rock. There could be no better venue for this show than The Che Cafe.

Monday, July 5 is not to miss. One disclaimer, though: Be respectful of other people or don't come at all. Racist, sexist, or homophobic behavior will not be tolerated. It's a serious policy but a quite simple and reasonable premise.
As if you needed further encouragement to come out, SD City Beat's 'If I Were U' picked this show as Plan A for Monday, July 5.
After the bands, we'll ride back down to North Park area in solidarity, illuminating the roadway w/ our new hand-made DIY LED bike lights.
