Published May 11, 2008 by C.I.C.L.E.
The big week has arrived! Bike Week Pasadena, the L.A. region's biggest and best new-age consciousness raising celebration in honor of National Bike Month.
We took the work out of national Bike to Work Week and National Bike to Work Day so that you could focus on something a little more fun,
riding your bike away from work! You know us, we like things to be easy, fun, and inspiring. So on Monday, late afternoon, we are greeting Metro Gold Line riders with wholesome pick-me-up snacks, goodie bags, and secretly indoctrinating unsuspecting non-biking commuters into the mysterious and seductive world of biking for transportation. We will hypnotize the masses by waving Bike Week Pasadena flyers slowly in their faces, and repeating in a monotonous tone, “Ride a bike…you want…to ride...a bike…all..of..the time…you love...riding a bike.”
Pretty much imagine us banging tambourines and singing car-free chants the rest of the week like a group of religious zealots in an airport. We will bike around all week sticking flowers in gas tanks and letting people know that we love them even if they are in a car, and that they are always welcome to join our cult, uh… we mean club. Then on Saturday, we will sit beneath the grand master guru and meditate on the wondrous and vast bike universe known as the Urban Bicycle Commuter Expo….ah, finally, enlightenment will be upon us after a hard week of bicycle contemplation….yes, dogs do go to heaven, and so do bicycles and the people who love them.
Bike Week Pasadena…come get programmed. We mean see our program of great events.
Would you like to contribute to C.I.C.L.E.? Do you a have bike-related article, news story, event, idea, suggestion, etc...? Check out our submissions page.
I laughed my ass off. Will the tambourine banging be kind of off tempo?

The Djembe is staying home…we have one you know. Oh I forgot we also have to pick a couple packs of nag champa incense! You can’t really get into the spirit without it.Off tempo…Indeed!
