Fixed Gear Festival in the East Village—May 7th

This year’s Long Beach Bike Festival starts in the East Village—First and Linden. It’s free, starts at 6:00 pm, and promises to be a blast. Click on the photos to enlarge them.

Fixed gear cyclists will do tricks, freestyle fun, skid competitions and more. And you might meet Josh, who is organizing the Gold Sprints, which are mad, brief races on stationary bikes where nobody goes anywhere, yet hearts throb to the moon and back! And for gentle fun, some members of the City Council will race down First on tricycles.

May 7th, cycle on down to the East Village.

Fixie Fun at Bixby Park—Saturday March 13, all day
