BY MAYORAL PROCLAMATION — no, really, we’re not lying, the paperwork’s
done and Gavin Newsom said so — THE WEEKEND OF JULY 22-23 HAS BEEN
DECLARED “CYCLECIDE WEEKEND” IN SAN FRANCISCO!!!

Honk honk!

San Francisco’s Heavy Pedal CYCLECIDE BIKE RODEO presents:
PEDAL MONSTER!
July 21nd – Poker Run, bar TBA
July 22, 2-10pm; July 23, 2-8pm – Mission Village Market, 18th and
Alabama Streets, San Francisco.
Poker run participation $5, 21 and over. Carnival is all ages; $7-10
sliding scale. RIDER ASSUMES ALL RISK.

San Francisco’s CYCLECIDE BIKE RODEO is, as always, 2 DUM 2 DIE — and
ready to get hitched at City Hall, regardless of handlebar shininess or
headtube length. In the wake of their countless tours across the
country, insane and successful hometown shows, myriad television appearances,
documentary films, festival headlinings, international fashion magazine
modeling spreads (no really), and cultural blah blah and interactivity
thus and so on and the “for the Kids” every which way, the Honorable
Gavin Newsom and the City of San Francisco do hereby proclaim July 22-23
to be CYCLECIDE WEEKEND.

And in return, Cyclecide is proving its eternal love to the City and to
the culture of the bike with a  freakish, pedal-and-contraption-centric
carnival of stupid and epic proportions. Mutant Bike Clubs from all of
the U.S.A. will descend upon San Francisco — from as far away as
Seattle, Reno, and New York — to carouse and joust and make out with local
hotties. The Cyclecide Bike Rodeo will run around like a chicken with
its head geeked off. There will be bands, shows, games, and general
cacophony, the likes of which San Francycle has rarely seen. Accept no
imitations — CYCLECIDE REMAINS THE WORLD’S ONLY BIKE RODEO AND
PEDAL-POWERED CARNIVAL MIDWAY! Even the mayor agrees.

Fri/21:
POKER RUN. Starts at darkish. Bar TBA on cyclecide.com. Wherein mutant
bicycling fans and feisty cyclists are all invited to throw in $5 to
participate in a multi-bar POKER GAME involving DRINKING and BICYCLING.
There will be prizes and very probably some pie-fighting and light
pavement-wrestling

Sat/22-Sun/23:
PEDAL MONSTER Festival takes over the Mission Village Market. (P.S. the
market is slated for destruction soon after that. Bye-bye, lovely
Mission weekends searching the flea market for thrifty treasures. Sniff.)

-Cyclecide Rides & Sideshow, with Skits, Mutant Bikes, Rodeo Clowns,
and punk rock mariachi band Los Banos

-An Only In San Francisco Circus Midway, with Wrong-Way Bike Games,

-Pervitadora Records’ Glen Meadmore — the Hot, Horny, and Born-Again

-The Life-Size Mousetrap — the Rube Goldberg-inspired creation based

2-ton safe that smashes things. With three-a-day performances by sexy
mice, cranky blue-collar clowns, and the one-woman-band Esmerelda Strange
