Final day of Dublin Bicycle Festival... come along!

This is the first year for The Dublin Bicycle Festival. It's aim is to celebrate the bicycle in all it's inspirational glory. Work in the show will include: tall bikes, photography, painting, sculpture, film and video, poetry, bike maintenence, music, theatre, and whatever else comes our way! This is an independant arts festival, with very little funding, so if you feel like contributing in any way, please do get in touch.

The Dublin Bicycle Festival will take place in the Custom House Quay (CHQ) on the North Side of the Sean O'Casey bridge, which is the new pedestrian bridge down river from Tara Street Dart station.

The festival will run from 21st – 23rd July (Friday, Saturday & Sunday)

Come along. It’ll be savage craic.

15.00: Sideways Bike
Michael Killian will be along for a talk about his latest invention, the sideways bike. Many of you may be familiar with him from the streets of Dublin.

15.30: Seán Óg's OneManBikeOneManBike is a musical experiment involving Seán's trusty workhorse which has served him well since 1989. For this solo performance the bicycle has been re-imagined as a musical toy: spokes are swapped for piano strings, tubing is blown through and hooters adorn the frame.
