Bikepool! or, Bike lanes? We don't need no stinkin' bike lanes

A mini-flyer appeared on my Kymco and on every bike on the bike rack in front of my building yesterday:

GREENSBORO FEST!!

A four nite (free) event with bands and bike-pooling to the shows! Each nite (except for Sat.) meet @ 7:30 p.m. on College Ave. in front of the UNCG Jackson library for a group ride to the shows.

I guess a lot of these students have already taken the no-car option, and are having fun doing it. Where they lead, city transporation planners will follow, I think.

In case you want to party with these cycling hipsters, here's the show info:

Friday Aug. 26: Guilford College with Dawn Chorus, Chet Stedman, Citified.

Saturday Aug. 27: UNCG Faculty Center with Giant, Eugene Chadbourne, 6 p.m. Filthy Bird, Tiger Bear Wolf

Sunday Aug. 28: Green Street with Boxcar Bertha, Crimson Spectre, Mortar & Pestle, War! Bomb!
