A quick reminder that the Return of the Winter Bike Fashion Show is happening this Sunday. We haven’t hosted a show since COVID, but now we’re back!
Join us (and bring a friend!) at the Goodman Community Center, Iron Works Building, 149 Waubesa Street from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm.
What is the Winter Bike Fashion Show? A celebration of riding your bike through the colder season. A venue for asking questions about how to keep your toes toasty, goggles fog-free, bikes upright on an icy day. Will there be “fashion”? Uh, sure! Because we think that no matter if you’re wearing Swedish army surplus wool pants, hi-tech bike jackets with built electric heating and Bluetooth controls, or just the coat you’d normally wear around town: Everybody looks amazing when they’re on a bike.
Aside from our models showing off their outfits and answering questions, we’ll have more activities for you:
- Help school kids stay warm in the winter: Safe Routes to School is doing a clothing drive. Hats and mittens are the biggest need, but items such as coats and rain pants are also welcome.
- Madison Metro will have a bus on site and you can practice putting your bike on their front racks.
- Our photographer Dan Stout will take pictures of you and your bikes. Our board member Harald will be around with his video camera to ask you about your favorite (and maybe least favorite) things about riding in the cold.
- There will be cookies, snacks, and hot beverages.
See you Sunday!
