THE SHOW
This show celebrates the artwork of Houston Critical Mass cyclists. All work submitted must be inspired by or found while bike riding within Houston’s Inner Loop. Artists should submit work proposals along with the location at which it was inspired. These addresses will be pinpointed on a large-scale map of Houston’s Inner Loop, to reference the origin of each artist’s work. Proposals will be judged on originality, local flavor and critical content.
Send submissions to sladuncan@gmail.com.
THE RIDE
Friday, February 26th, the Critical Mass group will meet at Tranquility Park in Downtown Houston. Riders will meet at 6:30 with the ride taking off at 7 pm. The route will take us around to some of the locations at which the work originated. The ride will end at Caroline Collective around 9:30pm in the Museum District, where the cyclists will get a sneak-peak of the show before it opens on February 27th at 6 pm.

Hands Up Houston is hosting a Bike Swap Meet. this Sunday from 8:00 a.m – 2:00 p.m. at Chicago’s Italian Beef, located at 1777 Airline Drive. Come and meet other cyclists! Bring stuff that you want to swap, sell or give away to your fellow man. If you’re looking for bike parts, this is one place to get it. It may be the best time to start making your own bike from scratch!
After you stop at the swap, the Houston Heights is filled with bike lanes all over their neighborhood. Hope the weather cooperates! Should be fun!
Being PedalHouston’s first contribution from the PedalHouston community, it is great to see such awareness and appreciation for the effort and time that is put into getting events for people to ride and to ride for great causes. Look forward to more posts like this about various things happening in the bike community around Houston. If you have anything you would like to share, use the contact form. It would be great to hear your POV.
Thanks to Life and Bikes for the contribution!
Check the story after the jump!
