bikes

We've got new neighbors!!!! Welcome!!

Veer explores America’s fast-growing bicycling culture by profiling five people whose lives are inextricably tied to bicycling and the bike-centric social groups they belong to. The film follows these characters over the course of a year, offering a behind-the-scenes look at their personal struggles and triumphs. Veer examines what it means to be part of a community, and how social movements are formed.

At 9pm, the stage will welcome Blister Pack (Worcester, MA), and BEWARE! The Other Head of Science for the Bike!Bike! Northeast party.  The Bike!Bike Northeast gathering of bicycle motivators from all throughout the Northeast will be taking place during the day of April 24th.  Interested?  Join us!

Bicycle organizers from not-so-far-off lands will converge on our post-industrial town for a meeting of the minds on all things bicycle culture in the northeast US. Discussions, skillsharing sessions, and bicycle fun. More info & Registration at http://www.troybikerescue.org/bikebikene.

"Two Wheels Good" to Celebrate Bicycle Culture with Independent Films at The Sanctuary for Independent Media in Troy

How do the Open Source software movement, bicycle sub-culture, guerilla gardening, and the Burning Man Festival fit together?

Author and Critical Mass co-founder Chris Carlsson connects these dots as he profiles the social networks that are cooperating outside of economic regulation and laying the foundation for a genuine movement of liberation from market life.
