MeWe Bicycle Festival

Last week we partnered up 700bike.com and DMG and create the MeWe bicycle festival. The event was part of a larger sports festival to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the opening of the Beijing Olympic Games and was commissioned by BODA (Beijing Olympic Development Authority).

MeWe was all about promoting a new cycling culture – ME as an individual have the chance to chance my transport device to something more sustainable and WE collectively can make a better city if we ride together !

The event consisted of an exhibition of 20 interesting bikes  (5 of which came from SERK’s new collection of Italian vintage bikes), a Bike Polo exhibition game and JISU PK competition.

The first 2 days of the event were great. We were visited by the former Vice Mayor of Beijing Liu Jingmin who is a big bicycle fan and is now the head of BODA. Our friends over at UCC bicycle also organized a ride with 900 riders around Olympic Park. Quite an impressive feat for Thursday afternoon on 35 degree day.
