On Monday the Ginger Ninjas Pleasant Revolution bike tour comes to Salem. 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 Salem Creative Network and LifeSource Natural Foods together bring them, and Ross from the Network adds:
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.
They encourage Salemites to join them as they bike between venues on Monday. Seven bands are touring with the Ginger Ninjas with performances at:If you don't get out for more bike fun than just a club ride, you're not having fun!
