Press release from howies
“When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride.” Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Beginning Friday March 26th McFaulStudio and howies have curated a two-week event of art, talk and ride based above the howies store in Bristol. We have reached out to those who ride, those who allow us to ride…and those who want us to ride, bringing us all together in a carnival of bicycle. Those who design and those who draw, those who paint or shoot or sew, those who talk or make, those who fix and those who nurture are all involved as they all share a love of A Beautiful Machine.
Over 50 artists from around the Globe. 15 incredible speakers over 5 evening talks. 1 bicycle treasure hunt. 1 rather special bicycle auction and 1 Critical Mass. Two weeks in Bristol. A lot of fun.
All the artwork is auctioned, and evening talks ticketed (£5) in aid if the Save the Children – Haiti Appeal.
Let the good times roll!

And mainstream mountain biking is being represented by…? and is that the best they could come up with for women cycling..?
So are you saying that these people are crap uninformative speakers? Or just that you’ve never heard of them, and therefore they must be crap?
*cough*

not that I thought their promo was utter pish and posted it a week ago.
I might’ve tried to make it down for some of this if I’d heard of it a month or so ago.. meh.
