The mission of the Bicycle Music Festival tour is to promote sustainable culture in general and bicycle culture in particular, by physically engaging and immersing communities in the magic of bike culture, and cultivating and nurturing networks of local sustainable musicians, through our staging of free, community participatory, bicycle-based music events.
The Pleasant Revolution Bicycle Music Festival Tour follows in the tire tracks of the San Francisco BMF—”the largest 100% bicycle-powered music festival in the world”—and the Ginger Ninjas’ globe trotting bike music shenanigans. San Francisco’s free, all-day (and late into the night) event takes place annually on the Saturday closest to the summer solstice.
A Bicycle Music Festival typically features: a 1–2000 watt pedal-powered PA system, as many as 15 bands, up to 7 festival stops, outrageous Critical Mass-style bicycle party caravans between festival stops, and zero use of cars or trucks.
With its completely bike-haulable stage, the event is packed up and deployed numerous times: staged sequentially at different public parks and also on a moving “Live On Bike” stage which rolls down city streets.

Can't Wait!
I can't wait for this! Been pondering with envy the sights and sounds from the earlier SF events. Nice job!
I'm looking forward to this too.
I'd love to see a diverse musical lineup - and an audience of riders that might not usually make it out to bike-ish events.
Hey there turntablists and beat-boxers, blues belters, opera singers! get in touch.
Thank you
Everything was perfect. The ride with Heather (Stitchcraft) singing all the way along the waterfront through Stanley park, Beach and out to the museum was spectacular. Thank you.
