We're taking the art bikes out for a spin to help celebrate the
opening of a new link in Madison's expanding network of bike paths.
If you'd like to ride a groovy art bike in the parade, we'd love to
have you. (email me now and get first choice of the bikes! or call
Ann @ 698-3525) Or just decorate your own bike, or your own self, and
ride with the Madison Art Bikes.
The event is on Friday morning. August 8th.
Here's the complete information from the event coordinators:
Campus Drive Pedestrian & Bicycle Path Grand Opening: August 8th

UW Campus. On August 8, 2008, join your neighbors, coworkers, Bucky,
and the UW Band in a parade from University Bay Drive along the rail

along the way! At the bridge, you’ll hear from special guests, see
