Kirkebrannene som rystet Oslo
Organizer: Valle Velo
Meet-up: Grete Waitz-statuen
Dette er et social ride, hvor vi tar for os en dramatisk og mørk del av norsk samtidshistorie – kirkebrannene tidlig på 1990-tallet.

I 1992 ble særlig Oslo rammet av en rekke påsatte branner, hvor flere kirker enten ble ødelagt eller totalforbrent. Brannene viste seg å være nært knyttet til den fremvoksende black metal-subkulturen.

Vi besøker vi de aktuelle kirkestedene, og reflekterer over hvordan disse hendelsene både ødela viktige kulturminner og samtidig skrev seg inn i norsk musikk- og kulturhistorie.

Turen avsluttes på Rouleur.

Tubeless & Clueless: Mekkekveld for landevei og grus
Organizer: Birk Sport
Meet-up: Birk Sport Sagene, Marcus Thranes Gate 2

Har du noen gang stirret på en dam med latex og lurt på hvor alt gikk galt? Bli med oss hos Birk Sport Sagene den 3. september kl. 19:00–20:30 for et lettbeint dypdykk ned i det helvete som er tubeless dekk, og hvordan du kan lære deg å elske det. Kurset ledes av sertifisert mekaniker og sykkelhvisker Kim Norgård. I løpet av 90 minutter går vi gjennom oppsett, vedlikehold – og det som måtte komme av sammenbrudd (dine, ikke dekkets). Mekkekvelden vil også dekke det aller viktigste du bør kunne av sykkelreparasjoner. Perfekt for landeveis- og grussyklister som ønsker færre punkteringer – og færre mentale kollapser.
