Hello Bikies,
Be sure to pedal on over to Olbrich Gardens to check out the Spring Flower show, running daily March 5-20th. A new spin this year, the show will include an artistic and historical bike show and a raffle for a uber-cool Bamboo Road Bike from Organic Bikes! Here are the details: *Spring Flower Show – Tour de Fleur* *March 5 – 20, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. daily* Immerse yourself in the splendor of spring, and take a journey through the history of bicycles at Olbrich’s Spring Flower Show – Tour de Fleur. The show is open March 5 through 20, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. A $2 donation is suggested. Historic and artistic bikes populate this bright, indoor scene of fragrant spring flowers. Start your journey of historical bicycles with one of the earliest bikes, a pedal-less velocipede. Then see another well-known historical bike, the penny-farthing, with its very large front wheel. Visitors can then walk through the evolution of triangle frame bikes. Also see a 'living bike' covered with micro-greens and bike parts creatively used as artwork including a bright blue sculpture of bike sprockets hanging from the ceiling. For more information visit www.olbrich.org. *Raffle - Win a Bamboo Road Bike or Racing Jersey!* New this year – purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win a bamboo road bike! The bicycle is best for riders 5’5” to 5’10” and features Shimano 105 components and Mach 1 wheels. The bike is valued at $2,250 and was donated by Organic Bikes. Be sure to try your luck because a second winner will be drawn to receive a Henry Vilas Zoo 100th Anniversary Cycling Team Jersey and Bibs, donated by the Friends of the Zoo. Tickets for the raffle are available from March 5 through June 30 at Olbrich’s Greeter’s Desk. Tickets are $2 each or 3 tickets for $5. Winners will be drawn on Friday, July 1 at 9 a.m. Proceeds from the raffle benefit Olbrich Gardens. For more information visit www.olbrich.org.
