What’s New and Improved at this year’s BMF?

Jay welding a brace on the Mobile Stage at a work session this past weekend.
 

8-foot wide mobile stage!

Our featured LiveOnBike performers, the Ginger Ninjas and SF opera singers, will be standing on an 8′ wide mobile stage towed by an electric cargo bike. We’ve been wanting to elevate our LiveOnBike performers and provide a more comfortable performance platform. The new stage will allow our LiveOnBike acts to sing, dance, and get our festival rocking all the way to our night venue. See lots of great LiveOnBike videos at LiveOnBike.com

Better sound! More Pedal Power generators!
Our Pedal Powered Stage will be twice as powerful as last year’s! 12 pedalers will allow us to run a 4000-watt system, complete with a dedicated subwoofer for rich, danceable bass! Our recent experience building a 16-bike system with a group in New York has shown that more generators makes a big difference. So we’re building up new ones just in time and calling out to the Pedal Power community for more.


Ice Cream Bike!

 

Rock The Bike recently finished an amazing Pedal Powered Ice Cream maker for a creamery in Brooklyn, NY. We’re finishing up a second Ice Cream Bike in time for this Saturday’s festival. We’re hoping for a hot day!

 
See you at the Festival!
