...hands in the air like it's good to be alive

In other cycling developments, an assortment of things I've seen lately that I think are worth sharing:

#1
ARTCRANK...
Saturday, August 29 @ someplace or another (trying to figure out exactly where and when)
...is a showcase of bicycle-inspired original, affordable poster artwork. It's a bike art party open to all, with free admission. And posters are priced to let everybody go home with at least one original work of art. ARTCRANK has held packed shows for the past three years in Minneapolis, and the first-ever show in Denver this year was a huge success. Now, it's coming to St. Louis.
ARTCRANK St. Louis will be a one-night event featuring original poster artwork created by St. Louis area artists and designers. The event is scheduled just before the start of the Tour of Missouri, so excitement about cycling and bikes will be at a peak. All we need is a group of talented and motivated artists to create bicycle-themed poster art.

Working in conjunction with the Tour of Missouri, which is a world-class cycling event, we are proud to announce our exhibition “Spoked”. We sought out bicycle themed artworks from some of the area’s most talented and respected artists for inclusion in our show. Our gallery is on the race route and we have special hours and events planned that are sure to draw a crowd. The eyes of the world will be looking our way and we’re gearing up for the liveliest show this town has seen. Get stoked about Spoked!
