Bike Day was so much fun

Despite the early-morning rain, Bike Day ended up having glorious weather and a wonderful crowd. We had a great time performing to the Go-Gos, and thanks to Hans for getting the dance on video!



As usual, there was a lot to do--many of us competed in the Flat Fixing competition, though none of the Brackettes made the final round.


Watching the track-stand competition inspired Chris & Martha to develop a tandem-trackstand technique!


Lots more photos from the event here. Thanks to all the organizers for an excellent day!

Bike Day 2009--see us perform!


We're performing at Eugene Bike Day on Saturday, June 13! This is a milestone for us, since it was on Bike Day 2008 that the idea for the Bottom Brackettes was first dreamed up. We'll be on at 1:00, doing a lively deconstruction of an 80's pop song.

The fun starts at 10 am at the Science Factory, 2300 Leo Harris Pkwy, Eugene, OR 97401. Read the full details about this fun event at the GEARS website.

We also got a shout-out in the Eugene Weekly's cover story this week. Well, maybe it was two shout-outs: both literally, in the last paragraph that mentions the Bike Day festivities, but also conceptually in the front-page illustration that includes a ballerina doing a fancy arabesque on her bike. Man, we are all about doing the arabesque on bikes!
