There are 125 rides happening during this year’s festival of bike fun June 3 to 19 – one week longer than last year 
and includes Kiddie-palooza at Trout Lake, a Bikesexual Fetish Ride and a downtown shopping bike tour.
Velopalooza starts June 2 with a ride from David Lam Park to The Waldorf Hotel for a kick-off party with Run With the Heard, reggae rock band Red Eye Empire, the Carnival Band and Gastown Sprints competitions. It ends June 19 with a ride from Main Street Car Free Day to a closing party at the Waldorf.
More here in the Courier. Or at the Velopalooza website.
I’ll be leading a ride on June 5:
FIFTY YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT: THE VIEW FROM THE SEAWALL
1:00pm – 4:00pm
From the West End to the Olympic Village, Vancouver has experimented with different forms, mixes and densities. You can see a half-century of urban development along the shores of False Creek. This tour by a past City Councillor gives an insight into the planning, issues and controversies that created ‘Vancouverism.’ Reserve a space by emailing pricetags@shaw.ca.
