Party on two wheels

Bike rave coming to Ƶappthis summer

Ƶappis already regarded as a bike riding mecca, and this summer local cyclists can literally have a chance to party on two wheels.

The first ƵappBike Rave is set to take over the streets of Ƶappon July 11 and event organizer Thor Kaze said it should be a unique party.

“I've been to the Vancouver one for a couple of years now and all of my Ƶappfriends have never been able to make it down and join us,” he said. “So this year I'm bringing it to them and the Ƶapppeople.”

Kaze has organized the popular Kite Clash event the past two years. For the bike rave, participants are set to meet at Stan Clarke Park at 9 p.m. and then hit the road with their decorated bikes, he said. It’s described as a glowtastic mobile dance party on wheels for anyone and everyone.

DJ MyKey is preparing a four-hour mix for the ride, and it will be made available to download for all riders. Cyclists can then all simultaneously listen to the music on their portable devices throughout the ride.

Riders are encouraged to deck out their bikes with glow sticks, lights and anything else shiny or blinky. The route is still to be determined but it’s expected that the group will visit several local establishments to dance the night away.

Kaze said that a few riders in the past have built trailer systems with big amplifiers and speakers, and he expects the ƵappBike Rave to have the same fun atmosphere.
