SF Bike Party: Summer of Love Ride

From SF Bike Party:

Summer, 1967: the Straight World looks on in disbelief as Flower Children arrive by the thousands, flooding into the parks and classic Victorian mansions of San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district. It’s a massive rebellion, a veritable Happening, a revolutionary MOMENT.

That was 45 years ago. The Summer of Love is ancient history. But now there’s a whole new NOW. We’re the next generation… a whole new Trip. A new kind of PARTY!

This September, Bike Party brings PURE LOVE to the streets of San Francisco! Are you ready to put some flowers in your hair? Be sure to look the part for our long strange trip on Friday, September 7th. Come as you are, but make sure to show everyone what Summer of Love means to you. If you need some inspiration, Go ask Alice!


Let your hair down!
