Buffalo’s Bicycle culture is strong and growing. Over the last few years there has been a resurgence of bicycles and their role as a part of the city’s renaissance has been recognized. Programs such as Buffalo Blue Bicycle and Recycle-A-Bicycle, businesses such as Zippy Delivery messenger service, and the newly created Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board has given a fresh breath into defining Bicycles and their place in our city. The Mardi Gras Big Fat Bike Ride continues the positive momentum created recognizing cyclists as a prominent aspect of our city’s culture and identity.
Join us for ArtVoiceis Big Fat Bicycle Ride Tuesday February 28th and be a part of Mardi Gras in Buffalo. The ride will start at the Albright Knox around 5pm and will follow the lead car broadcasting music for all onlookers. It will be a leisurely bicycle ride followed by the running race and then the floats. We will end at Cozumel on Elmwood Avenue where there will be free food and entertainment. All pre-registered cyclists will get a free t-shirt.
