Major Bike Party - World's Fastest Cyclist Joins Fastest Race & Commute Bike to Honor Slowest

Legendary bike racer, Fast Freddy Markham,(hear part one of a two part podcast) will be talking about his storied racing career and why one of his bikes is in the Smithsonian, at our 11/15 Busycle Farewell Party. With speed as the theme, wether it be slow as with our Busycle or fast as with Tim Brummer and his Lightning F-40, unequivocally the the fastest race and commute bike on the planet, there will be a lot of action taking place in only **9** days time here at the Palo Alto YMCA.

While TIm has been busy logging 50,000 to and from work miles on  his own F-40 over the last 10 years, Freddy has been adding to the speed successes that have made him famous. Even before 1986 when he won the $18K Dupont prize for being the first man to top 65 mph, this former two time Olympian was already the most feared track bike cyclist at San Jose's Hellyer Park Velodrome. Along the way toward his then shattering 20 different world records, Freddy also just recently won the $25K Nissan One Hour Challenge covering 53.4 miles in a single hour from a standing start!

Freddy & Tim will be joined by other two wheel celebrities, including Fred's daughter, Tanya Markham, the first woman to go 63 mph on a bike. Revered bicycle author, Jobst Brandt, will be giving his widely acclaimed Swiss Alps cycling slide show. Besides Busycle rides and Kinetic Sculpture Vehicles that will astound the young and the old, some of the area's best musical talent will also be hand. Besides the hard charging rhythms of the Marla Goody Band, Las Vegas sensation, Iya Khan, will also be  sounding his tunes. As will celebrated bagpiper, Paul Llewellyn. Jugglers, unicyclists, Yo Yo champions, great food and more.......

All this as show attendees also get a chance to help design Busycle 2.0 and bid on the many treasures that the Palo Alto community and beyond have donated to help send the Boston born Busycle to its museum home on the East Coast, You won't want to miss the biggest bike party the SF Bay Area will have ever seen.
