Since 2004, the SF Cruisers ride for pleasure, at a cruising pace, in a non-confrontational style with ample musical accompaniment. We often pick a cultural destination (art opening, Stern Grove concert, dance club) and make a musical journey to get there.
The rides are public, and usually free. To get email updates of upcoming rides, create a Rock The Bike account, then come back to this page and click subscribe.

If you're an old school SF Cruiser, you'll probably dig this mix
Folks who were on our cruiser rides back in 2002-2005 will appreciate this new mix: "Old School Minidisc SF Cruiser Music"
I left a lot of this music behind when I changed from using good ol' Minidiscs to an iPod. My sister recently lent me her Minidisc player so I could listen anew. I threw all the good songs into Ableton Live and created an hourlong mix from them. Hope you like it!

Pedal Powered Stage at Earth Hour SF Downtown gathering.
Come on down to Market Bar at the Ferry Building this Saturday Night and be part of the celebration of Earth Hour 2009. Rock The Bike will be setting up the Pedal Powered Stage and hooking up Justin Ancheta, Guella, and Fossil Fool with some good clean pedal power. Other highlights include the Sustainable Living Road Show, and hopefully a flatland BMX performance by Pete Brandt (video). Lineup below.
It's Earth Hour, people! Don't forget to turn off all the lights in your home before heading out to catch the music. Also remember to unplug those pesky chargers and wall adapters for devices you only occasionally use. Earth Hour this year could reach a fifth of the planet. Check out the participation map on their site. It's your choice whether to power down and chill in your neighborhood, or head out to join us at the Ferry Building, where you'll see many of San Francisco's landmark buildings turn their lights out, groove to Justin, Guella, and the Bike Rapper, and help us to pedal power two hours of local live music!
Learn more about Earth Hour 2009 in this City Hall news conference:
Inaugural Cruise

Like Where's Waldo for Halloween Critical Massers
Video: LalaVirnana
See if you can spot yourself in this still shot of last Friday's Halloween Critical Mass passing under a downtown building.
Plus, check out the Down Low Glow in action at 0:55 through 1:30! I had no idea it would be that visible from above. Plus, what the heck are the light up tires you see at 3:39 - 3:50? And check out MonkeyLectric in effect at 4:00 The funny thing about this footage is that I thought I was in the back of the pack, but there was still 4 minutes worth of Critical Mass behind me.
Also, Check out McKenzie's tunnel footage from last Friday:

SJ Bike Party - 20:30 17 October 2008 Campbell/San Jose California
SJ Bike Party has been a lot of fun. Try to come out!
Dear Bike Blog Readers,
After a long winter of being busy and not able to make the cold weather rides, I finally returned to the wonderful world of San Jose Bike Party. My first ride back of the season was actually the March “Psychadelic Robot Ride.” Although I enjoyed this ride, I didn’t have much time to prepare for it so I just kind of rolled with the route up to as far as I could. I had another commitment that night so I won’t write a review of it. At any rate, back to the point of this blog entry; “THE BATTLE OF THE HELMETS” 17 April 2009 Friday.
We arrived at Dick’s Center on Bascom Ave. SJ at about 7:40 P.M. which gave us plenty of time to eat our brown bag dinners, and prepare our bikes for the ride. There were already about 10-12 people in the lot already waiting for the meet up to begin. After enjoying two burritos from Juan More Taco in Fremont, Ca we prepared out bikes, checked our gear for the evening and donned our helmets! My friends Harry and Tim were on their way down to ride so this time we had more than the usual 2-3 riders in our group. Surprisingly we had more people come out and ride than planned but when it comes to bike rides THE MORE THE MERRIER!!
