Bike Love
October is an exciting month for bike lovers. As I lived car-free until recently and my only mode of transportation was by bike, two wheels hold a special place in my heart. I am thrilled that Bend will be hosting the Day of the Dead Cyclocross Festival which will feature the Cross Culture Art Celebration and the Oregon Handmade Bike Show on October 28-30.Begin your weekend with the Cross Culture art walk in downtown. Friday night, different venues will feature photography, painting, handmade bikes, zines, film and live music.
The true art on display during the festival though will be found at the Handmade Bicycle Show on Saturday and Sunday. The craft, design, attention to detail and passion for bikes is bringing people from around the country to show what can only be called art at the Good Life Brewery. Look for Bend’s only full time bike builder, Wade Beauchamp of Vulture Cycles who has been building custom bikes for over 13 years. He has a very cool tall bike design!
Whether you watch one of the costumed cyclocross races in the Old Mill, gaze at a dreamy hand built bike or enjoy a night on the town from the seat of your cruiser bike, Bend will be overflowing with two-wheeled goodness on Halloween weekend.
