Poster Party For Bikers Rolls Into L.A.
An event for fans of bikes (and bike activism), beer and art rolls into town tonight. You can check out 31 bike-themed posters at the event ARTCRANK. We managed to get a few copies of the images above.
The show ARTCRANK has been popping into bike-friendly cities all over the nation since 2007. It started in Minneapolis and has showed up in Portland, San Francisco, Austin, New York, Denver and London. Finally, it makes its Los Angeles debut tonight at Orange 20 Bikes at the intersection of Heliotrope and Melrose. It kicks off at 6 pm and will continue until 11 pm.
You can purchase the posters for $40. Craft beers by Widmer Brothers Brewing will be on tap and you can buy special edition glasses whose proceeds will go to LA Streetsblog. There will be free bike valet parking (duh).
