Maker Faire 2015
Rock The Bike is pleased to announce it’s umpteenth year involved in creating Pedal Powered Music offerings for multiple days at the Maker Faire of San Mateo. This event has grown to be one of the largest Maker Faires in the country, boasting ten’s of thousands of participants per day, and new technology and inspirations to make your mind bend. Rock The Bike has been a huge part of creating and inspiring innovation at the Maker’s Faire and Bay Area, through pedal powered concerts that make us think of where our power is coming from, and how we might want to use our time and energy more efficiently as an individual or community. So let’s get to it! Here is the line-up and details of the Bike ride down to Maker’s Faire 2016:

Rock solid for passenger transport
The beefy steel tubing and integrated rack design of the Mundo makes it easy to carry friends, kids, and spouses.
The top surface of the Mundo requires some padding before it’s passenger-ready. A trail blanket would do nicely.
Customizing a Mundo with bamboo running boards
It’s easy to customize a Mundo. We used a jig saw to attach bamboo running boards for a dad in San Francisco. The oval holes allow straps to pass through for securing loads.
Lighter Mundo
The creators of the Mundo have made the current model 13 pounds lighter. The new model is noticeably sportier on hills, and easier to carry down a flight of stairs.
The weight savings is related to the narrower gauge tubing in the Mundo’s carrier. The carrier also has fewer tubes.
All Mundos sold by Rock The Bike as of June 2009 have this improvement.
If there’s something you find reassuring about having a taillight this powerful, this large, on your long bike or commuter bike, trust your instincts. Get the Down Low Glow.

For years we’ve been selling the Down Low Glow as a Side Visibilty and Ground Effects light for bicycles. Some of our customers have been trying it out as rear light, and I finally set it up that way for myself. The results are in. Never has it been this much fun to take the lane.
