Bike to Maker Faire with the Rock the Bike Crew!

I'm a word nerd who loves to geek out on how emerging technology affects the lexicon. I was an editor on the first 40 volumes of MAKE, and I love shining light on the incredible makers in our community. In particular, covering art is my passion — after all, art is the first thing most of us ever made. When not fawning over perfect word choices, I can be found on the nearest mountain, looking for untouched powder fields and ideal alpine lakes.

Coming to Maker Faire on May 30th and 31st at the San Mateo Fairgrounds? Why not bike there? Free and secure Valet Bicycle Parking will be provided by the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition, and riders can buy tickets at the valet for just $15 (cash only), which is $10 off the door price! Good for the planet, and good for your wallet.

Wanna ride with a crew of awesome makers? Join the Rock the Bike crew, who will be riding the 19 mile trek en masse from Dolores Park in San Francisco, taking off Saturday, May 30th at 9 a.m.

While at the Faire, be sure to check out Rock the Bike’s Pedal-Powered Stage. You can even help power the music by pedaling!

Hi Lane,

The Rock the Bike crew is going to have a human-powered stage, where peeps from the audience can get on a bike and help power the sound. You can get more information on how the stage works here:
