Cyclocross Medallion Making event

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

Attention TBP Minions-
Reserve Tuesday September 14th from 6-9pm for a Tall Bike Posse build night at the SLO Bicycle Coalition Headquarters. We will be making 54 winner medallions for the Central Coast Cyclocross race series scheduled for October and November. These medallions similar to the ones made for the winners of the SLO Urban Enduro will be unique and sought after by all competitors and worn proudly by only the Winners.
We will fuel our creativity with pizza and beer. I hope you can be a part of the post industrial style assembly line.

Medallion recipe ingredients:

  1. Rear clusters that we can bust loose and gather 54 individual gears
  2. Bike inner tubes from ten speeds - 27 total (cut in half will make 54 neck ribbons)
  3. Bike chain - enough to wrap the gears
  4. Silver bronze and gold markers; or other permanent neon color- green, pink and blue? to write the place, category, and date of event.

We will disassemble clusters, bike chains and cut inner tubes and clean off grease, dry the parts with propane torches and reassemble with placement, category and date of event  (Dave, or Tyler please send info).

Visit www.slocross.com for event information, flyers and updates for the series. If you missed last year’s Doggone Cross Race at Laguna Lake and the year before at Talley Vineyards, you missed quite a spectacle. Tall Bike Posse may even take the course during the halftime show!

The Tall Bike Posse is sending out a call to artists for BIKE ART 2009. This is our third year putting together a bike art exhibit for SLO County’s Bike Month celebration in May. Our past success has preceded our planning and expectations are high. We have partnered again with the San Luis Obispo County Bicycle Coalition to be our non-profit benefactor. Last year’s month long exhibition raised over $1000 for the Coalition. Be a part of this event and raise awareness about bicycling through your art. Deadline for submissions is April 18th.

Further details on the Bike Art Submission page. Go here to download a Wanted Poster and post it at your favorite slacker artist cafe.

BikeSHIFT opening was a huge success

Monday, May 7th, 2007


Friday night went without a hitch. The food, the beer, the band and the great attendance. My only regret was spreading myself so thin playing the host. I hope to make up for that by inviting small groups of acquaintances to the gallery when I’m down there working. We will try to be open as much as possible through our 2 week stint at the Pier One building. Check out some of the photos here and here
More to come later so check back soon.
