SF Cruisers

Jun 22, 2011Posted by fossilfool in Uncategorized | Comments Off on SF Cruisers

Since 2004, the SF Cruisers ride for pleasure, at a cruising pace, in a non-confrontational style with ample musical accompaniment. We often pick a cultural destination (art opening, Stern Grove concert, dance club) and make a musical journey to get there.

The rides are public, and usually free. To get email updates of upcoming rides, create a Rock The Bike account, then come back to this page and click subscribe.

Coordinate Entertainment

A broad selection of local entertainers, quirky, compelling, and energetic.

Rock The Bike has been nurturing our relationships with local bands since our very beginnings in 2003. Allow us to feature some of San Francisco’s best voices at your event.

Typically this service is transparent to you, in the sense that you simply approve an entertainment budget, and we go to town and get the best fit we can for your event.

Live On Bike: Bicycle Mobile Performance

May 7, 2011Posted by fossilfool in Services, Uncategorized | Comments Off on Live On Bike: Bicycle Mobile Performance

Loud, clear, and bicycle-mobile.

Mobile Sound comes naturally for Rock The Bike — we’ve been hosting musically-enhanced bike rides since 2002. Each year we improve our gear and take on new ways of bringing music to the streets.

Here are some of the key features of our mobile sound set up:

• We use Shure wireless stage monitors to transmit a music signal to multiple receivers. This avoids having one loud source that can hurt the ears of marchers/riders. Multiple sound sources can distribute the message through the crowd
• We carry our large, efficient loudspeakers on our cargo bikes. Our Mundo cargo bikes are stable at low speeds
• We create amazing Soul Cycles — art bikes with integrated music systems. Examples: El Arbol,  the Blue Whale, and the Choprical Fish

Our fees for the Mobile Sound service range in price depending on the travel involved, size of the crowd, nature of the event, etc.

Got a special event you’re celebrating? You can decorate the mobile stage with your logo, brand, or other symbolic imagery.

To request our help with your event, please contact us as soon as possible so that we can check our schedule and get your event in our calendar. It’s best that you have these questions answered before you contact us.
