CIRQUE DU CYCLING BIKE PARADE - JUNE 13th - MISSISSIPPI AVE.

Portland has a wealth of totally awesome bike clubs doing all sorts of
neat tricks, so lets get together to parade for the masses!

Cirque du Cycling, a Mississippi bike fair in support of the non-profit
Self Enhancement Inc., is calling all bike clubs to come and represent
by marching and pedaling in the nation's largest bike pride parade on
June 13th. It's totally free and a great way to show off your
two-wheeled pride.

We want to see all the local clubs - from entertainers like the
Sprockettes, down-and-dirties like Dropout, racers like the Gentle
Lovers, the rowdy boys and girls of Team Beer (BEEEEER!) and leisure
riders like Slug Velo. Out of towners are welcome too.

If you can assembled a unified group of four people, you can be in the
parade! Whether you ride fixed, chopped, swinging, tall, fast or slow -
we want you in the parade.

REQUIREMENTS
Teams must register in advance through our website. We are coordinating
the placement of teams in advance. If you show up on the day of the
parade, you won't be able to march. Get it together in advance!

All parade teams must have a team banner at the front of their group.
The team banner can be made of any material but must be at least four
feet wide and two feet tall so spectators can see who you are.

You must have at least five people.

You must be unified, as in outfits matching or bikes coordinated.

This is a family-friendly event. Keep that in mind.

REGISTRATION + MORE INFO
FREE
Register by June 10th.
